NEW research shows many Australians continue to remain complacent about the potential seriousness ofinfluenza (flu), despite the significantly higher cases already reported this year.
The Department of Health data shows there have been almost 14,500 confirmed flu cases already.
The Australian Attitudes to Influenza Index, commissioned by CSL Seqirus, asked 1,017 adults aged 18 years and over about their attitudes to flu.
The results showed that one third of adults say that flu is only somewhat serious, with 14% saying it's not very, or not at all, serious.
There are also clear generational gaps with only 20% of 18 to 24-year-olds indicating flu is very serious compared with nearly 60% of those 65 years and older.
