Seasonal influenza (“flu”) is a highly contagious viral illness marked by fever, muscle aches, cough, headache and fatigue. These symptoms often have a dramatically sudden onset and the illness usually lasts seven to ten days. Although influenza typically improves without complications, certain individuals, especially those with underlying medical problems including asthma or diabetes may develop complications, such as pneumonia. Ear infections and sinusitis may also develop with or following influenza.
The most effective preventative measure against seasonal flu is being immunized with seasonal flu vaccine.
It is especially important for individuals (especially those at risk for flu complications) to be immunized with seasonal flu vaccine.
