FLU IS CAUSED BY THE INFLUENZA VIRUS.

Previous infection or vaccination is no guarantee of protection against it – the
flu virus is changing all the time and there are different strains.


HOW SERIOUS IS FLU?

While most people have relatively mild flu symptoms, flu is a potentially
serious disease that can lead to hospitalisation and sometimes even death.

It can cause bronchitis, croup, pneumonia, ear infections, heart and other organ
damage, brain inflammation and brain damage.



An estimated 163,000 flu cases were detected in Australia each year between 2015
and 2020.1

An estimated 1,500,000 work days are lost to flu and its associated
complications each year.2


HOW CAN YOU RECOGNISE THE FLU

Flu symptoms include a runny nose or sneezing, cough or sore throat, fever and
chills, headache, body aches, vomiting and diarrhoea (which is more common in
children).



Most flu symptoms last up to a week but coughing can continue for up to two
weeks or more

Body ache
Headache
Sore throat
Fever
Fatigue

Cough

Flu is not the same as a common cold – flu symptoms tend to be more intense.

It is very difficult to distinguish between the symptoms of COVID-19, influenza
and a cold. If you have any infectious or respiratory symptoms self-isolate
yourself, follow your state or territory guidelines about COVID-19 testing and
contact your healthcare professional for further advice.
