Fight the flu

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and in some cases death. The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each flu season. (U.S. Air Force graphic by Senior Airman Jarad A. Denton/Released)
