The vaccinations have to be renewed annually due to differences in the types of endemic virus. They can help reduce complications due to influenza especially among the elderly and patients with chronic cardiac or respiratory diseases. Influenza is an acute febrile illness mainly affecting the respiratory tract. It is present in Hong Kong all year round and is especially common in the spring and winter months. Antibiotics are not effective against the influenza virus unless there is also a complicating bacterial infection. In most cases patients with a good health record recover within a week. General management and symptomatic treatment is recommended: • Have plenty of fluids as well as nutritious and easily digestible food • Take adequate rest • Maintain good ventilation • Observe good personal hygiene.
