At Carlton Family Practice, we understand the importance of timely and accurate screening for influenza. With flu season posing a significant health concern each year, our comprehensive screening services are designed to help you stay informed and take proactive steps toward safeguarding your health and the health of your loved ones.

Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Symptoms often include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. While most people recover from the flu without complications, it can lead to severe illness, especially in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying health conditions.

Early detection plays a crucial role in managing the spread of influenza. Our screening services offer a rapid and accurate assessment of potential influenza infection, enabling prompt treatment and preventive measures.

Our experienced healthcare professionals utilize state-of-the-art technology and follow stringent protocols to conduct influenza screenings. Our process includes:

• Assessment: A thorough evaluation of symptoms and medical history to determine the likelihood of influenza infection.
• Testing: Swift and reliable tests to confirm the presence of influenza viruses. We offer various testing methods, including rapid antigen tests and molecular tests, to ensure accurate results.
• Consultation: Personalized consultation and guidance based on test results, including treatment options and preventive measures.
