The effects of flu

Influenza is a highly contagious virus that causes widespread illness in the community and workplace each year. Fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, headaches and fatigue are all symptoms of the flu. The flu can also lead to secondary complications, increasing absenteeism and hospital admissions.

Keeping a healthy workplace

Cold and flu season can be devastating to an office environment if everyone doesn’t help to keep it clean and germ-free. Tips to maintain a healthy workplace include:

Sanitise surfaces often – wipe down phones, desks, computers, equipment and communal areas thoroughly several times a day to minimise germs
Keep a supply of tissues and sanitisers available
Wash or sanitise hands regularly
Stay home – employees should feel comfortable to stay home if they have active symptoms

Frequently Asked Questions

What is influenza?

Influenza (or ‘the flu’) is caused by three types of influenza virus – A, B and C that infect the respiratory system. Influenza is contagious and is spread by coughing, sneezing and direct contact with an infected person or by touching a contaminated surface. You may be infectious for approximately a day before symptoms appear. Symptoms of flu include: fever, muscle aches, headache, lethargy, dry cough, sore throat, and a runny nose. The fever and body aches may last for 3-5 days, whilst the cough and lethargy may last for two or more weeks. Influenza can cause serious complications that may require hospitalisation or may even be fatal.

What’s the difference between influenza and the common cold?

Influenza (or ‘the flu’) is a respiratory illness that occurs following an infection with influenza viruses. Sometimes the term ‘the flu’ is used incorrectly to describe the common cold or other respiratory viruses. This is because their symptoms can be similar to those caused by influenza. There are many different viruses and some bacteria that can cause these symptoms. The influenza vaccine will only protect you from the influenza virus. Usually influenza is more severe and lasts longer than a cold or other viral respiratory illness.

Why is the flu vaccine recommended?

Annual vaccination against seasonal influenza can reduce your chances of catching the virus and can also reduce the severity of symptoms if you do get sick.

Who should be vaccinated?

The seasonal influenza vaccination is recommended every year for most people aged six months or older.

Who shouldn't have the flu vaccination?

Persons with known egg and chicken allergies are unfortunately not able to participate in this service, but are encouraged to seek advice from their healthcare practitioner. Persons who have experienced an anaphylactic reaction to antibiotics neomycin, gentamicin, polymixin or thiomersal are also not eligible to participate in this service.

When should I be vaccinated?

The best time to be vaccinated against influenza is in autumn, before the flu season starts. The vaccination can take up to two weeks to develop protection and provides immunity against influenza for around three to four months depending on the individual’s immune system.

How often do I need to be vaccinated?

It is recommended that you receive the influenza vaccination every year as the different strains of virus can change from year to year. This ensures you are protected against the most recent virus strains. Even if the virus strains do not change, yearly vaccination is still recommended as immunity from flu vaccination is not long lasting.

Is the flu vaccine safe for pregnant women?

The flu vaccine is recommended in all stages of pregnancy and has been given safely to millions of pregnant women across the world. Studies looking at the effects of pregnant women receiving the seasonal flu vaccination indicate no negative effects on pregnant women or their babies.

Are there any side effects from the vaccine?

Like any medication, some people may experience an unexpected reaction to the influenza vaccine. Common side effects following vaccination for influenza may include:

pain, redness and swelling or a lump at the injection site
low grade temperature
headache or muscle aches
drowsiness or tiredness
generally feeling unwell

Most side effects are minor and last only a short time. Generally, mild reactions begin within six to 12 hours. As with any medication, very rarely will you have a severe allergic reaction, which will usually occur within 15 minutes of receiving a vaccine. Because of this, it is important for you to wait for 15 minutes after receiving your vaccination before leaving. Your immuniser will advise you of the potential side effects of having the flu vaccine and what you should do if you have a reaction.

Which vaccine is used?

The formulation of influenza vaccines for use in Australia is determined each year by the Australian Influenza Vaccine Committee (AIVC) based on information and recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO). The details of which strains of influenza antibodies are contained in this year’s vaccine can be found at www.influenzaspecialistgroup.org.au. The vaccine administered will be an inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) according to the age of the patient.

What happens on the day of the clinic?

The vaccination service is relatively quick, taking less than 5 minutes which allows for the nurse to confirm consent has been provided, that the person being vaccinated is well and has no contraindications to vaccination, and to administer the vaccine. Following the vaccination, the person vaccinated is required to remain in the observation area for a further 15 minutes.
