What is influenza?
Often referred to as the flu, influenza is caused by viruses (influenza viruses) which infect the respiratory tract. A highly contagious and sometimes life-threatening disease, even healthy people can take up to two weeks to recover from the flu. The disease is spread through infected persons sneezing, coughing or touching others and surfaces with contaminated hands.
Unfortunately, sufferers can spread the virus early in the infection before symptoms begin to appear.

Flu symptoms can vary in severity from mild to moderate. They can include:
- A sore throat
