Seasonal (or common) flu
is a respiratory illness that can be transmitted person to person.
Most people have some immunity, and a vaccine is available.
Pandemic flu
is virulent human flu that causes a global outbreak, or pandemic, of serious illness. Because there is little natural immunity, the disease can spread easily from person to person. Currently, there is no pandemic flu.
