It's called Perth, Australia, and is put to sleep up to 4 million people. The flu has arrived, with a little 'earlier than expected. The first case was isolated in Genoa, where a 40 year old man was admitted to hospital.
A flu epidemic is not yet, but on the contrary, para influenza virus that preceded it will cause high fever, classic symptoms of pain and discomfort worth seasonal. The vaccine is ready and available in pharmacies: a virus trivalent going to cover all three viruses identified to date.
The fact will be provided for the H3N2 viruses, H1N1 and B / Brisbane. These things have already made a lot of infections in Northern Europe, particularly in Norway.

Just about the people who should get vaccinated, the Ministry of Health says that "for the identification of risk groups with respect to outbreaks of seasonal flu, there is a substantial agreement, in Europe, that the main recipients of the offer seasonal influenza vaccine should be people aged 65 years and persons of any age with certain underlying conditions that increase the risk of complications in the course of influenza. The free offer is also addressed to active people at risk who carry out activities of particular social value. "
