Influenza (flu) is a disease of the body’s respiratory system, which includes the nose, throat, and lungs. Flu is caused by a virus and can be very serious. Every year in the U.S. flu causes thousands of hospital admissions and deaths. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the best protection. You can get your flu and COVID vaccinations at the same time
