No,
there is absolutely no reason to believe that. The Swine Flu (2009 H1N1 influenza virus) is a mutation of a virus that pigs had, the mutation made it able to infect people too. The pigs who first had the flu that evolved into the Swine Flu were in a pig farm in the US, according to investigators tracking the origin of the disease.

"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu.
