Is H1N1 easier to get than the seasonal flu?
Yes, for two reasons. The majority of people do not have protection (immunity) against H1N1 and there is some scientific evidence that it may be somewhat more contagious than seasonal flu (for example, family members and people who live together are more likely to spread among themselves if one person becomes infected).
