Sensible protection


Infection from the influenza virus can cause serious consequences in both children and adults. Find out how to protect yourself and others from this potentially fatal disease.

INFLUENZA, or “the flu”, is a highly contagious viral respiratory illness that spreads through droplets when those who are infected cough, sneeze or talk. Symptoms of the flu are usually more severe than the common cold, with fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, cough, sore throat, fatigue, nausea or vomiting.
