Influenza
Influenza (flu) is an acute, contagious virus that causes high fever, respiratory distress, aches, chills, and extreme fatigue. In those with compromised immune systems and the elderly, flu can be fatal. The influenza virus occurs seasonally, with peak cases occurring from December to February. Flu infection can be prevented or its symptoms lessened through annual flu vaccine. Flu research in VA focuses on improved vaccination outreach, access to services, and preventing transmission in healthcare settings such as clinics and hospitals.
