Influenza, caused by a virus, primarily affects the respiratory system. Influenza is also known as the flu, seasonal flu or respiratory flu. While the flu vaccine will not protect against all cases of influenza, it does provide significant protection.

What is the Flu?

Thanks for the share.

That was really very informative.

Most of the people would not have been aware of why the flue were occurring and your post would have made them feel more easier to be away from what causes the flue and other diseases.

Thanks Jori. Many in our CMT group always ask if flu shots are safe for those of us with CMT. Thanks for sharing this helpful information that I can pass on to my group. Melinda Upstate NY CMT facebook.com/UpstateNYCMTsupportGroup
