What is Influenza?

Influenza, commonly referred to as ‘the flu’ is an acute viral illness that mainly affects the respiratory system.

Influenza spreads easily, mainly through sneezing and coughing. The flu can also be spread by touching infected surfaces with your hands, to the nose, mouth or eyes.

The most common symptoms of influenza are:

fever
dry cough
nasal congestion
headache
sore throat
fatigue

Although flu symptoms are similar to Covid-19 symptoms, Covid-19 vaccines are not effective against influenza. It is important that you receive your flu vaccine to provide yourself and those you care for with protection against the virus.
