What are the differences between the 1976 H1N1 vaccine and the 2009 H1N1 vaccine?
The ingredients and manufacturing process for the 2009 A-H1N1/09 vaccine are entirely different than those in 1976. Besides the virus strain being entirely different, the method to "grow" it is different, too. For example, the virus is now incubated using chicken eggs as the medium for growth (this is why those with Allergies to eggs or chicken proteins should not take the vaccines). Different processes are used to purify and "kill" the live virus for use in the inactivated vaccines used in the injections in the US. The nasal vaccines are also made with weakened ("attenuated") viruses created by using a new process for making them unable to make recipients of that type of vaccine ill.
The 2009 vaccine for "Swine Flu" is made using the same new process and ingredients as the seasonal flu shots have been being made for more than 3 decades now. The process was changed after the 1970's. The seasonal flu vaccines have an extremely low incident rate, with a safety record that is very good. There is no scientific reason to expect any different outcome with the 2009 H1N1/09 vaccinations made the same new way.
The risk of the flu is much greater than risks of adverse effects from the vaccine.
See related questions below for additional information about the ingredients in the 2009 "Swine Flu" H1N1/09 vaccines.
What is also new for the 1009 H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine is that it contains squalene, which is an ingredient that was never approved of in the USA. But the FDA quickly put through an approval for it, so it could be included in the 2009 vaccine. This is vastly different than in 1976 and squalene has been implicated in causing the Gulf War Syndrome. Squalene also causes the human immune system to a hyper reaction where the body attacks itself and sets a person up for auto-immune diseases later. The H1N1 Vaccine was never tested in 2009 for longer than 21 days and it does hold serious side effects such as causing miscarriages in pregnant mothers that were never reported by the CDC.
There is much to worry about -in 2010 as there is virtually no epidemic of swine flu yet the US government has allowed the H1N1 3 viruses to be included in every normal flu shot this year. It is too loaded with dangers to be administered to every person and have never to this day been tested for causing cancer. Buyer beware.

Are there any findings regarding the long-term effects from Swine Flu immunizations given in the 1970s?
About 24% of the US population received the swine flu vaccine offered in 1976. Of those, about 500 developed Guillain-Barré syndrome and 25 died. A connection to receiving the Flu Vaccine was believed, but no such connection was ever shown to subsequent flu vaccines.
When was the flu shot available to people?
Polio vaccine was the first vaccine introduced in the late 1950s.

Is it true that the H1N1 virus is not new and that they used to have a vaccine for it that would kill people?
The H1N1 influenza virus is not new, there are different strains of it that have been around since at least 1930. But the 2009 pandemic swine flu (A-H1N1/09) is much different and was new in 2009. One of the prior strains of "swine flu" that was causing infections in 1976 caused a scare after some military men caught it and one died. Flu like it had not before been that serious in young and healthy people. A vaccine was developed and many people took it without any problems (I did). But it also had an unusual number of people who developed Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) and some died from the neurological disorder. It was linked at the time to the vaccine, however, it was never actually proved by scientific study that the vaccine was the cause of those cases of GBS. Guillain-Barre Syndrome can also be caused simply by an infection of any flu virus itself. It had been known to have occurred prior to 1976. There was some speculation that the vaccine was also contaminated and that is what caused the GBS outbreak, although this was not fully studied or proven. It was enough of a problem, however, that the vaccine was withdrawn and immunizations were discontinued. As it turned out, the flu infected only a small number of men at Fort Dix, New Jersey with only one death. It is also true that more people did get sick and die with problems that seemed to be related to the vaccine. Today we have a different strain of flu than the 1976 swine flu and we have entirely different methods of making vaccines for influenza. The current pandemic flu vaccine is made the new way, just like the annual seasonal flu shots that have proven over decades to have a very high safety record.
