This program outlines the science behind influenza and pneumonia and the conditions, both hygienic and environmental, that contribute to the spread of dangerous viruses and bacteria. Engaging animation sequences, compelling case studies, and interviews with prominent physicians create a framework for improving viewer comprehension of flu and pneumonia.
