Is there a vaccine for Swine flu ?

There is no vaccine, as the genetic makeup of this virus is still being analyzed.

But CDC officials have prepared a "seed stock" of the virus that could be used in the manufacture of a vaccine, though it is still premature to send it to pharmaceutical companies. Preparing a new vaccine would likely take several months.

For swine influenzas that affect pigs, there is a vaccine available that can be given to pigs; there is no vaccine to protect humans from swine flu.
