Last year was said to be 'particularly bad' for admissions to hospital with the illness.
Oliver Radford, Manx Care's Operations Director, says Australia has seen a high number of flu cases this year, something likely to be mirrored here.
Speaking at the health body's recent board meeting, he says careful planning coupled with a high uptake of the flu vaccine should help matters:
