Ok, I did get educated. Here are the facts as presented by the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention):

Questions & Answers
This document includes questions and answers about the seasonal flu shot. For information about the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine, see http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/
What is the flu shot?
The flu shot is an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. It contains three seasonal influenza viruses. The three seasonal vaccine viruses – one A (H3N2) virus, one regular seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus (not the 2009 H1N1 virus), and one B virus – are representative of the seasonal influenza vaccine strains recommended for that year. Viruses for the flu shot are grown in eggs. A seasonal flu shot will not protect against 2009 H1N1 flu.

Yep, that is from the horses mouth. See stupid people like me have to double check the factually correct info I posted before to be sure its right. So
2009 H1N1 is not the same as
A (H1N1)
And yes, there is a special vaccine just for
2009 (H1N1)
If you want to argue the point, please do it with the CDC, as I am apparently too stupid to discuss things of this nature with you geniuses.
