A member asked:
Is it still possible to get swine flu after a vaccination for it?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sure: No vaccine is 100% effective and no vaccine will produce a rsponse in all recipients. However, it's likely that if you get the illness after vaccination, that the infection wil be less severe than without vaccination.

Vaccines: Yes complete conversion of everyone does not occur but by vaccinating most people we reduce the over all population risk
