H1N1 influenza is sometimes called "swine flu" because it is usually found in pigs. You cannot become infected with H1N1 influenza from eating pork products. The injectable form of H1N1 influenza virus vaccine is a "killed virus" vaccine and will not cause you to become ill with the flu virus that it contains.
