H1N1 influenza (swine flu)
H1N1 influenza, also known as "swine
flu," is a newly identified virus that can spread from people who are
infected to others through coughs and sneezes. When people cough or
sneeze, they spread germs through the air or onto surfaces that other
people may touch. H1N1 influenza is not transmitted from pigs to humans
or from eating pork products.
