Flu Facts and Statistics

Influenza A and B viruses are typically responsible for seasonal outbreaks in the U.S. The A virus has also been linked to global infections of Bird Flu and Swine Flu. The C virus is usually milder and unlikely to cause an actual epidemic. Influenza D infects cattle, not humans.

Between 9 million and 45 million flu cases are reported annually in the United States.
Influenza causes an estimated 12,000 to 61,000 deaths each year in the United States.
The flu vaccine can reduce the risk of getting the flu by 40-60% when the vaccine is well-matched to the circulating flu viruses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flu Test & Flu Shot

01 How long does the Flu vaccine immunity last?

The duration of flu vaccine immunity can vary from person to person and season to season. Generally, flu vaccine immunity lasts for about six months. It’s recommended to get a flu vaccine annually, especially before the start of each flu season, to ensure continuous protection against the latest flu strains.

02 Is the Flu test covered by insurance?

Flu tests are often covered by insurance plans, but coverage can vary depending on your specific insurance provider and plan. We recommend you check with your insurance company or healthcare provider to confirm your coverage details before getting a flu test. Many healthcare facilities, including AllCare, offer flu testing services with insurance billing options for eligible patients. Contact us today!

03 How long does the Flu last?

The duration of a flu illness can vary, but most people completely recover from the flu within one to two weeks and most symptoms go away in 4 to 7 days. It’s essential to rest, stay hydrated, and follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations for a faster recovery.

04 What happens during a Flu test?

During a flu test, a healthcare provider typically collects a respiratory sample, often through a nasal or throat swab. This sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis to detect the presence of the influenza virus. The results help diagnose whether you have the flu or another respiratory illness, enabling appropriate flu treatment and care.

05 Does the Flu vaccine prevent Bird Flu?

No. The standard flu vaccine primarily targets common influenza strains found in humans and is not specifically designed to prevent avian influenza (bird flu). Bird flu is caused by different strains of the influenza virus typically found in birds, which needs specific type of immunization.
