They are working on or have a swine flu vaccine. Certain groups will be getting priority. The regular flu shot is for different strains. I will get the regular one and not the swine one. There's really not much difference between "regular" influenza and swine flu. You treat the symptoms and watch for any complications. My son (18) ended up with ear infections in both ears. I wouldn't get all hyped up about swine flu if you don't get all hyped up every year when flu season hits. You just have to be vigilent with any influenza for complications.
