Poll: Most Americans Don't Expect to Get Swine Flu
A new survey finds about three out of five Americans believe there will be widespread swine flu cases this fall or winter, but most are not worried it will make them sick.
The results of the survey were released Thursday by the Harvard School of Public Health.
About 60 percent of people surveyed say they are not worried they will get sick from swine flu, a finding that echoes what was found in a similar survey in May. The telephone survey of more than 1,800 U.S. adults was done in late June.
Swine flu was identified a few months ago. Doctors are still investigating this flu strain and how it is different from seasonal flu. © Copyright 2012, Associated Press
