Statistics show about 20,000 Americans die from influenza or
influenza related pneumonia each year. Pneumonia and influenza
are the sixth common cause of death in the United States.
Elderly (65+) make up more than 90% of the 20,000 Americans who
die from this illness each year.

symptoms for a few days. The incubation period for the influenza
virus ranges from 1-4 days.

What is influenza?
There are three different kinds of Influenza viruses: Influenza
A, Influenza B, and Influenza C. Influenza A can attack animals
and humans, the remaining two (Influenza B and Influenza C) can
only attack humans. Influenza C causes a very mild infection and
does not provoke epidemics.
When observed through an electron microscope, influenza viruses
are figured like filaments or spheres. Immunity to one strain of
the influenza virus will not protect you against newly born
strains of the virus, which has undergone minor changes or
mutations.
The Influenza B and Influenza C virus may infect only human
beings while Influenza A may infect several different types of
animals. Influenza A virus can sicken many various types of
animals, including humans, aquatic mammals, birds, horses,
swine, and others.
