   Sammanfattning : Influenza is an acute respiratory disease caused by influenza type A and B viruses. Human influenza viruses may infect up to 15% of the total population during the seasonal epidemics, causing many cases of severe illness. Each year, approximately 350 million doses of influenza vaccine are produced for protection of those at risk of severe disease. LÄS MER
