Influenza is a serious disease.
It is caused by a virus that spreads from infected persons to the nose or throat of others. Most people are ill with influenza for only a few days, but some get much sicker and may need to be hospitalized. Influenza causes thousands of deaths each year, mostly among the elderly. The viruses that cause influenza change often. Because of this, influenza is updated each year by replacing at least one of the vaccine viruses with a newer one.
