According to the World Health Organisation, nearly 1 billion people are susceptible to flu viruses worldwide, with approximately 290,000 to 650,000 deaths annually. As the flu virus is constantly mutating and unpredictable, the epidemic situation also varies yearly. In Singapore, we have two peak periods due to our unique geographical location.
