Influenza (a disease often called the flu) is an infection of the upper airway caused by the influenza virus.

Influenza spreads easily from person to person through coughing, sneezing, or having face-to-face contact. The virus can also spread when a person touches tiny droplets from a cough or sneeze and then touches their eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands.

Influenza can cause serious illness and can lead to hospitalization and even death.

A person with influenza is at risk of other infections, including viral or bacterial pneumonia, which is an infection of the lungs.

Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with certain medical conditions are at high risk of serious illness from influenza.

Please make an effort to get your flu vaccine.
