What is Influenza or Flu ?
Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It affects the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs, leading to symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and headaches. The flu can range from mild to severe and may cause complications, especially in vulnerable groups like young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
Advantages of Flu Vaccine!
The flu vaccine offers several advantages in protecting against influenza:
1. Prevents infection: Reduces the risk of getting the flu.
2. Lowers severity: If you get the flu, symptoms are milder.
3. Reduces complications: Helps prevent severe outcomes like pneumonia, hospitalization, or death, especially in high-risk groups.
4. Protects others: Contributes to community immunity, reducing the spread of the virus.
5. Annual protection: Updated yearly to match the most common circulating strains of the flu virus.
