The chances are you won't. As of Monday 20th July 2009, the only people who have died from Swine Flu (or pig flu) in the UK have had underlying health problems or have recently given birth to a child. Also, it depends on where you live in the UK; if you live in Scotland, the West Midlands or London, you have a greater chance of contracting the virus. Nevertheless, even in those three most infected areas of the United Kingdom, the probability of catching swine flu is still minimal, so you need not worry too much yet. Scientists are preparing a vaccine for swine flu, work is well underway, but it may not be ready until October. Until then, there is a drug called Tamiflu which can be taken to reduce the effects of swine flu, but it will not protect you from catching the virus itself.

How many people survived the Swine Flu by using taking the shot?

"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.
