Because people are scared to get the flu and think that the flu vaccine will halp them.

How Swine Flu attack human beings?

The so-called "swine flu", more correctly called an H1N1 Flu, causes influenza in humans. The H1N1 flu seems to severely affect more people between the ages of 4 and 30, and fewer of the over-60 group, than does the seasonal flu. It also seems to come less often with a fever, and perhaps to last a bit longer. But basically it is influenza.


Why doesn't a flu jab protect you for life?

A flu vaccination is only good for the season because the flu virus changes over time. Without getting into the technical details of how it works, a virus can adapt and change over time by gaining new genetic traits, making it a completely different 'virus' that causes the same disease, but is genetically different than the one before it. Because of this, a vaccination of the old flu virus will not last for life. An old flu vaccination will protect against the original, but the new strand is basically 'unknown' to your body and will cause infection.
