Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses.
It can lead to serious illness and complications in some people such as very young children and infants, adults 65 years of age and older, people living with a chronic medical condition, pregnant women, Indigenous people and people residing in nursing homes.
It is estimated that in a given year influenza causes an estimated
12,200 hospital stays and 3,500 deaths in Canada.

New strains of influenza appear every year. Annual immunization
with the seasonal influenza vaccine is a safe way of reducing the
risk of influenza illness, hospitalization and even death. The
Canadian FluWatch surveillance program monitors which strains
circulate in Canada and provides weekly reports. Learn more about
FluWatch.
