Abstract
A major concern for healthcare systems is the occurrence of the annual influenza epidemics. With the arrival of winter in almost all regions with different climates, seasonal influenza is more probable to occur. Depending on the distance from the equator, the occurrence of seasonal influenza can be varied (1). Influenza is responsible for 3 - 5 million severe infections. The annual mortality rate for influenza has been reported to be 290,000 - 650,000 (2).
