Influenza is a virus that causes "the flu" and commonly appears in winter as either the influenza A or influenza B strand. Symptoms associated with the flu such as headaches, aches and pains, fever, cough, and runny nose usually last only a few days, yet more severe cases can continue for over a week. You can significantly reduce your risk of being infected with the influenza virus through the injection of a flu vaccine or "flu shot."
