So those of us who actually got swine flu, but did not get the vaccine, are we also protected?

Not that I'm qualified to give answer, but...

I believe you have at least some protection from flu similar to what you had. According to this, if that was H1N1 then you likely have some protection against the 1918 variant or similar.

Not necessarily.

It's an antigen shifter. It mutates.
