Every winter, almost 25% of Canadians are infected with influenza. Thousands become seriously ill, and thousands die from flu related complications. Most people who want to improve their chances of having a flu free winter can benefit from the annual flu shot. The flu shot cannot give a person the flu, and side effects are minor. At high risk are seniors, adults and children with chronic diseases, and their caregiver. Without vaccination, they may face the possibility of serious or even fatal consequences, should they get the flu. A yearly vaccination is the only preventive mesure that has been proven to reduce mortility rate from influenza. 1, record 2, English, - Annual%20Flu%20Awareness%20Campaign

Chaque hiver, près d’un quart des Canadiens et Canadiennes contractent le virus de la grippe. Des milliers tombent gravement malades. Des milliers d’autres meurent à la suite de complications liées à la grippe. Presque toutes les personnes qui veulent améliorer leurs chances de passer un hiver sans la grippe peuvent tirer profit d’un vaccin antigrippal annuel. Le vaccin ne donne pas la grippe et les effets secondaires de la vaccination sont mineurs. Les personnes les plus vulnérables sont les aînés, les adultes et les enfants souffrant de maladies chroniques, ainsi que leurs soignants. Ces personnes risquent de subir des conséquences graves et même mortelle si elles attrapent la grippe. Le vaccin antigrippal annual est la seule mesure préventive capable d’aider à réduire le taux de mortalité dû à la grippe. 1, record 2, French, - Campagne%20annuelle%20de%20sensibilisation%20%C3%A0%20la%20grippe
