The influenza virus primarily affects the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. There are different strains of the flu virus, and they can change from year to year. Influenza is spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus.

Prevention
The flu virus can survive for up to 24 hours. Anyone who breathes in the droplets or touch the surfaces that the droplets have landed on can catch the virus.
The flu jab is the best form of defence against catching flu and developing serious complications. This is available from the NHS for primary aged children and certain groups of adults, while private clinics also offer vaccinations. It is important to be vaccinated yearly, as the viruses which cause flu change every year, meaning there is a different vaccine from winter to winter.
Good hygiene is also key so regular hand washing & cleaning of surfaces along with antiviral medication can help.
