Hello
Thanks for getting back, I am sorry for the short delay in my reply. I was on call at my hospital.
Swine flu vaccine can be taken and it has proven to be effective. However I have seen patients who have acquired swine flu even after immunization. Here is what you should do
1. Best way to avoid swine flu is having clean hands
2. Avoid exposure to people with H1N1
3. Get the vaccination done for entire family

Hello
Thanks for getting back
If you are seeing a lot of deaths due to H1N1 and also you think you might have been exposed to H1n1 then I suggest you be on prophylactic treatment with Oseltamivir 75 mg once daily followed by immunization for h1n1.
It is impossible to clinically differentiate normal flu with swine flu, I think getting immunized is a very good option for you.
Please also follow the other precautions I had mentioned earlier
