Most people have natural immunity. A flu pandemic happens when a new influenza A virus strain appears. Flu-related deaths average 23,600 per year in the United States. Each year 5 to 20 percent of the population gets the seasonal flu.

Getting vaccinated is the best protection. If you contract the flu see your doctor. 
Antiviral medications can make your illness milder and shorter in duration.
