1976 U.S. outbreak
On February 5, 1976, an army recruit at Fort Dix said he
felt tired and weak. He died the next day and four of his
fellow soldiers were later hospitalized. Two weeks after his
death, health officials announced that swine flu was the
cause of death and that this strain of flu appeared to be
closely related to the strain involved in the 1918 flu
pandemic. Alarmed public-health officials decided that
action must be taken to head off another major pandemic, and
they urged President Gerald Ford that every person in the
U.S. be vaccinated for the disease.

However, the vaccination program was plagued by delays and
public relations problems. But on Oct. 1, 1976, the
immunization program began and by Oct. 11, approximately 40
million people, or about 24% of the population, had received
swine flu immunizations. That same day, three senior
citizens died soon after receiving their swine flu shots and
there was a media outcry linking the deaths to the
immunizations, despite not having any positive proof.
According to science writer Patrick Di Justo, however, by
the time the truth was known — that the deaths were not
proven to be related to the vaccine — it was too late.
"The government had long feared mass panic about swine flu
— now they feared mass panic about the swine flu
vaccinations." This became a strong setback to the program.
