Your questions answered.
Why do I need the swine flu jab? If you are being offered the swine flu jab, it is either because you are at greater risk of serious illness if you catch swine flu, you work directly with patients or you are in regular contact with people who have a compromised immune system.
Will it give me swine flu? NO- it is an inactive vaccine which means the flu virus used to make the vaccine has been killed so it cannot give you swine flu.
Should I take the seasonal flu jab and the swine flu jab? YES. At risk groups are advised to have both vaccinations.
Do I need the swine flu jab if I've already had swine flu? YES. It is difficult to confirm that you have definitely had swine flu, so it is safer for you to have the vaccine.
Is it safe? YES. It has been licensed by the European Medicine Agency and has been rigorously tested on both adults and children.
Why aren't children included in priority groups? If a child has an underlying health condition and usually has the winter flu jab they will need to be vaccinated against swine flu. Otherwise it is important that we prioritise those who need it most.  (Children from 6 months to 5 years are now eligible.)
I'm worried about swine flu but I'm not in a priority group - what do I do?
People in the priority groups are more at risk of becoming seriously ill from swine flu. Most other people will only have mild symptoms.
