"The shot" is a vaccine for the swine flu. If you get the vaccine, then, in theory, you don't get the swine flu. If you didn't get it, then you didn't "survive" it, because "surviving" it means that you got the disease but didn't die from it. So, zero is the answer. On the other hand, the swine flu is no more deadly than the common flu, so the vast majority of the people who got the swine flu survived it.

Because the flu is manifested mostly by respiratory problems and symptoms, people who already have respiratory disease or are particularly susceptible to them, as are those with asthma, can have much more serious problems than the average person when they contract any flu. In the swine flu the deaths attributed to confirmed cases of the flu have mostly occurred in people with underlying medical conditions that complicated recovery.Keeping children with asthma away from areas where the flu is spreading and using all precautions suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Protection and World Health Organization is especially important.(See the related questions below for information on protecting yourself and others from swine flu.)
