Flu Facts:

  • The flu spreads easily from person to person. The influenza virus is transferred in droplets of moisture expelled through breathing, coughing and sneezing.
  • The virus can also be spread when a person touches any droplets which contain the influenza virus and then touches their own mouth or nose before washing their hands.
  • Pregnant women are at great risk from pandemic influenza H1N1 (swine flu)
  • Influenza Infection can lead to hospitalisation in all age groups, particularly if you have an ongoing medical condition or if you are 65 years and older.
  • More people are eligible for FREE influenza immunisation in 2010
  • Approximately 400 deaths each year in New Zealand are related to influenza infection.

So don't take the risk, call your GP or medical clinic and arrange for your influenza immunisation
