AB  - Influenza  is  an  acute  respiratory  illness  caused  by  influenza  A,  B,  and  C  viruses.1–3  Influenza  A  and  B  cause  annual  or  near  annual  epidemics  of  febrile  respiratory  illness  throughout  the  world.4  In  temperate  climates,  influenza  epidemics  follow  a  typical  pattern,  peaking  annually  during  colder  months.1  In  regions  with  tropical  or  subtropical  climates,  influenza  epidemics  have  more  variable  seasonality  often  associated  with  the  rainy  season  and  influenza  can  circulate  for  longer  periods  annually.4–6  In  addition  to  annual  epidemics,  new  influenza  A  subtypes  can  emerge  during  epidemic  and  nonepidemic  periods  among  humans  and  cause  a  worldwide  outbreak,  known  as  a  pandemic,  leading  to  larger  than  usual  numbers  of  severe  disease,  deaths,  and  societal  disruption.3
