If you have not been vaccinated for the specific subtype of influenza that is spreading in your environment, then you are susceptible to the infection unless you have already had the same virus or a very similar one. If you do not have immunity through one of these methods, then you may catch the flu, suffer the symptoms, pass it to others, and even have severe complications and death. Approximately 36,000 people in the US die each year from the seasonal flu. Be safe and get the seasonal flu vaccination each year when it is available in the beginning of the flu season (fall and winter in the Northern Hemisphere).

Should I be worried if there is an outbreak of Asian flu because during the bird flu outbreak all the birds were slaughtered and with this new swine flu outbreak many pigs are being slaughtered?
Are you Asian? If so, you are still not at risk of being slaughtered if the Asian flu breaks out in your area. [Assuming that is what your question means as a joke, otherwise the connections in your question are not clear.] In any case, if you get your flu vaccinations each year, you should be protected against the Asian flu if it has potential for spreading into your area during a future flu season. It is not expected to be one of the types of flu circulating in the 2011-2012 flu season in the US.
