Influenza (“flu”) is a contagious disease that spreads around the U.S. every winter, usually be-tween 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 the best protection we have from flu and its complications.
