    FAQ

    What exactly is influenza, and how does it spread?

    Influenza is a highly infectious illness. It is a viral infection that attacks the respiratory system and is transmitted via breathing the virus when it is released into the air when someone coughs, sneezes or even speaks.

Most side effects last 3-5 days. However, cough and tiredness might continue for up to two weeks.
