"Influenza, known more commonly as 'the flu,' is caused by the influenza virus, which infects the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). Unlike the common cold, the flu can cause severe illness and life threatening complications in many people." For more information about flu prevention strategies, visit the Web site of the American Academy of Pediatrics (http://www.cispimmunize.org/).
