This year's flu season is said to be different than any other - Namely the new PSA that Uncle Sam announced today will be the face of fighting the H1N1 flu.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services announced the new PSA campaign (shown below) suggests that "together we can" combat H1N1 flu.

The new campaign is called “Together We Can All Fight the Flu" and will be featured on national media to help educate the importance of pregnant women, children, young adults, and other priority groups getting the H1N1 flu vaccine.

Celebrity Dancing with the Stars former contestant and former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Melissa Rycroft came down with flu earlier this year and said that prevention is the best medicine.

"I want to stress to people how easy it is to battle this flu when you take the proper steps," Melissa said in a past interview.

Other celebs that have come ill with H1N1 are Desperate Housewives Teri Hatcher, Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell, Harry Potter's Rupert Grint, Marilyn Manson, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta and speculated Miley Cyrus.
