One question that has been raised again and again is the that of whether being infected in the 1st H1N1 pandemic wave provide a person with immunity to the second or third pandemic waves.
There are numerous opinions on this but one of the best indicators would be the data from the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.
The Flu Wiki discusses this at length and it seems that being infected in the 1st wave DOES NOT protect one against the second wave BUT it protects against DEATH.
This matter should be evaluated carefully by both the government authorities (only in nations with competent officials) and / or the individual.
