Where can you get the Swine Flu shot in AZ?
In the 2011-2012 Flu Season in the US, the swine flu A-H1N1/09 pandemic swine flu vaccine is included as one of the three types of flu viruses in the seasonal flu shot. So you don't have to get a separate vaccination this year for the swine flu as was needed in the 2009-2010 flu season. Check your local pharmacies. Many national drug store chains, grocery stores with pharmacies, and local drug stores give them, such as Kroger, Walgreen's, CVS, Walmart, etc.
Is it necessary to get the Swine Flu shot every year?
That will only be needed if a new mutation of the swine flu occurs that the current swine flu vaccine isn't able to prevent. In the 2009-2010 flu season in the US two shots were need, the regular seasonal flu shot and the H1N1/09 Swine flu shot. But in the current 2010-2011 flu season in the US, the seasonal flu vaccination contains the vaccine for swine flu in addition to the other varieties of flu that are expected to be circulating. So only one shot is needed this year for protection in the flu season.

Who spread the Swine Flu?
Nobody started it; it is just a virus that mutated and is now affecting people. Normally viruses change when more than one infect a single cell, and reassortment of their genetic material produces an altered virus. In the case of the swine flu, the virus has a mix of genetic sequences from swine, avian, and human viruses (pigs, birds, and people). It is called the "swine flu" because the original virus is linked to influenza in pigs. But infection from pigs to humans is exceedingly rare. Now it is known as H1N1 Virus. The first outbreak was in Mexico, and later in the US and Canada. By October, 2009, the death toll had reached over 450 in the US and more than 3000 worldwide. (see related links)
What is swine influence?
You probably mean "What is Swine Influenza?". Influenza is another name for the flu. The Swine Influenza is a virus that causes respiratory flu in humans and can also infect pigs. It has "swine" in the name since it was originally a flu that only pigs (swine) got. It has mutated to a new form now and it is passing from human to human in the 2009 Pandemic. Influence is a word that means something entirely different: having the power and control to, or an ability to, persuade other people to do the things you want (such as political influence, social influence, peer influence, parental influence, monetary influence, supervisor's influence, etc.). On the lighter side: "Swine influence" probably has to do with US political lobbyists.
