Influenza (“flu”) is a contagious disease that spreads around the U.S. every winter, usually between the months of October and May. Flu is caused by the influenza virus, and can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Symptoms come on suddenly and may last several days. They include: fever, chills, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, cough, headache, runny or stuffy nose. FLU VACCINE is our best protection from flu and its complications.
