Description of the disease

Influenza is an acute viral infectious disease caused by the Influenza virus (types A, B and C). Influenza has a high probability of a severe course and a high percentage of complications (pneumonia, otitis, meningitis, myocarditis). Most often, flu outbreaks are characteristic of the winter period and often have a pandemic character. That's why flu vaccination is done at the beginning of autumn before the expected outbreak of SARS and flu. If the family has a child under 6 months of age, adult family members are recommended to be vaccinated against influenza.
