Test your knowledge about influenza as we head towards the winter peak
We're in the thick of flu season and the expected winter surge is in full swing.
In the last few weeks most states and territories have seen steep rises in influenza cases and the overall number for the year to date has exceeded those in the same period last year.
Cases remain highest in children aged nine and under and this year we are seeing a higher number of influenza B compared to last year.
Historically, late July is when infections peak — so how prepared are you?
Do you know how long you might be contagious for? Or when you might need to see a doctor?
Let's test your knowledge.
