| The flu is caused by the influenza virus. It usually begins in November and ends in April. Affects that the flu has on people is a fever, cough, headaches and depending on the person sometimes earaches and sinus problems. The flu stays for about one to two weeks. This virus is very small.
Anyone who is at a high risk of becoming sick should go to the doctor to get a flu shot or vaccine. If you get a flu shot or vaccine you shouldn’t catch the flu but if you do it wouldn’t be as bad as it would be without the medicine at the beginning. Like other shots the flu shot is used with a needle. The flu can be spread by sneezes, coughs or laughing. But even if stay away from sneezes and wash your hands you can catch it, if you get the flu you stay in bed, drink stuff and take medicine.
