The flu is something that comes around each and every year and so many people get stricken with the flu and the thing is that if they simply got a flu shot they would not have gotten sick. No one likes to be sick but still people put off getting their flu shot why? One of the main reasons more people do not go in for their flu shot is because they are misinformed about the flu shot to begin with.

Swine influenza virus was first isolated from pigs in 1930 in the U.S. and has been recognized by pork producers and veterinarians to cause infections in pigs worldwide. In a number of instances, people have developed the swine flu infection when they are closely associated with pigs (for example, farmers, pork processors), and likewise, pig populations have occasionally been infected with the human flu infection.
