Maine 2013-14 Flu Season Wks 43-28: 1 Total Pediatric Death
What is Novel Influenza (Flu)?A new (novel) flu virus is one that causes human infection but is different from the seasonal flu viruses that spread among people each year. People usually do not have immunity to novel flu viruses and a vaccine may not be quickly available.Novel flu viruses usually come from animal flu viruses. Animal flu viruses do not normally infect people, but in rare cases, especially when people have close contact with animals, infections occur.
