	Beat the Bug! Get Vaccinated Against Influenza!
	Influenza is a contagious respiratory virus that can be prevented by immunization. Either an injection in the arm or a mist sprayed into the nose, is one of the best ways to prevent yourself and those around you from contracting influenza.

	Influenza is a respiratory illness.
	Symptoms of flu include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches.
	Although the term "stomach flu" is sometimes used to describe vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea, these illnesses are caused by certain other viruses, bacteria, or possibly parasites, and are rarely related to influenza.

The Colorado Influenza and Pneumococcal Alert Coalition (CIPAC) is a statewide coalition whose mission is to decrease vaccine-preventable respiratory disease in Colorado through collaborative efforts in education and immunization.
