Best Answer

No. Influenza is an infectious disease.

A hereditary disease is one you are born with because one or both of your parents carry the gene responsible for passing the disease on to their children. For instance, if you visited a friend who had cystic fibrosis and 'flu, you could catch the 'flu from him, but not the hereditary disease of cystic fibrosis.
