Suggest Vaccination For H1N1
Brief Answer:
Yes vaccine is available for swine flu
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
There are two vaccines nasovac-s and influvac. Both are effective against influenza A, B and swine flu. Nasovac-s is given intranasally and influvac is given intramuscularly. These vaccines provide protection against these infections for one year period and need to be taken yearly.
These vaccines are available during the month of october and november every year and become out of stock/unavailable by this month. Still you can check at wholesale pharmacies for availability. You can also check at government hospitals and NIMHANS.
