Does having had swine flu before gives robust immune system against covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: While the immune system may be improved following recovery from swine flu, Covid-19 has a different DNA pattern. This is why current flu vaccines are not an effective preventative for Covid-19.
