"do you get a shot if you have the flu or to prevent the flu..?? "
Normal flu vaccines will not protect you from this strain of influenza.
If'n you are worried, you can only catch this disease through DIRECT infected fluid contact.
Wash your hands thoroughly many times through the day. Avoid touching your face/mouth/mucous membranes. If you are in contact with people coughing, a simple surgical mask is phrophylactic enough for most uses.
There is a very effective therapy available if you or your loved ones do happen to get sick (Tamiflu). Best bet is always avoidance.
