Developed in conjunction with a practicing primary care physician and an anatomy professor, this chart covers the areas of influenza that are essential for all patients to understand.
The chart details special risk factors and complications and highlights the importance of getting a flu shot. Succinct text tells what to do if you get sick with the flu and stresses that antibiotics are not recommended for this disease because they work only against bacterial infections, not viral infections like influenza.
Understanding Influenza includes answers to three common patient questions - how to tell the difference between a cold and the flu, whether the stomach flu is the same as influenza, and if the symptoms of the flu are different in children.
Unmounted - Printed on high-quality heavy paper appropriate for framing. (Note: Unmounted charts cannot be displayed on the chart stands.)
Laminated - Printed on high-quality paper with flexible 1.5 mil plastic lamination. Metal eyelets in each top corner for convenient wall hanging or for use with chart stands. Lamination also makes the chart "markable" allowing write-on / wipe-off. Easily rolls up for portability. This is the most popular mounting.
Styrene Plastic: Has UV-resistant coating for color protection on durable, non-flexible, heavy-weight plastic. With "write-on, wipe-off surface" and convenient eyelets for hanging.
