H1N1 started in Mexcico after children have been around pigs or as it's called 'swine'. The "Swine Flu" might seem like a serious issue but if you get a vacination I'm sure you will be okay. Just visit the doctor and ask for the H1N1 shot and there you go; you got the shots.

This new virus, although it is being called "swine flu," is not the same virus.
