seasonal flu
Annual respiratory infection
Seasonal flu is influenza that circulates predictably each year, typically peaking in winter months.
It spreads through respiratory droplets and causes fever, cough, body aches, and fatigue.
The term distinguishes ordinary annual outbreaks from pandemic strains: I got my seasonal flu shot in October.
Also called the flu or simply flu.
