What is the flu?
Influenza, commonly known as flu, is an infectious disease of birds and mammals caused by an RNA virus of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses). In humans, common symptoms of influenza infection are fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, and weakness and fatigue.[1] In more serious cases, influenza causes pneumonia, which can be fatal, particularly in young children and the elderly. Sometimes confused with the common cold, influenza is a much more severe disease and is caused by a different type of virus. Although nausea and vomiting can be produced, especially in children, these symptoms are more characteristic of the unrelated gastroenteritis, which is sometimes called "stomach flu" or "24-hour flu.’

They vary from year to year depending on the severity of the outbreak that year. Some research has shown savings of $US84 per person . Others estimate saving $US46 per person , or $US15 - $US50 in another study . One study looking at sickness absence from flu estimated companies save $US2.58 per dollar spent on vaccination
