    Swine Flu Shot
    Hello experts,

    1. I (ealier 20s) just got received a seasonal flu shot on Friday, can I receive the recent swine flut shot in couple days? ( 3 days separation between these two flu shots).

    2. Does a 52 yr-old adult need to have the swine flu shots as well?

    Most people in that age group do not need the N1N1 vaccine (swine flu), unless they have chronic underlying medical conditions.

    The answer to your first question is that it's okay to get both shots within a few days... even on the same day.
