Flu, Flu Shot, Influenza, Vaccine, Temecula, Vail Ranch Pharmacy

The Flu – short for influenza – is an extremely contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses. The flu appears most frequently in winter and early spring. The flu virus attacks the body by spreading through the upper and/or lower respiratory tract. Flu vaccination is your best protection against the flu.

Influenza can worsen chronic medical conditions or cause serious complications in people with a variety of chronic illnesses. Vaccination can therefore be especially beneficial to both children and adults with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease and compromised immune systems.
