Overview:

Most people who get the flu will have mild illness, will not need medical care or antiviral drugs, and will recover in less than two weeks.  Some people, however, are more likely to get flu complications that result in being hospitalized and occasionally result in death. The flu can also make chronic health problems worse. People who have medical conditions like diabetes, kidney disease and cancer are more likely to get flu-related complications if they get sick from influenza. During this COCA call, subject matter experts will discuss the influenza vaccination recommendations from the 2010 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and practice strategies for preventing and treating influenza in people with diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer.
