Not at all, because Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) is the name of a type of bacteria and the flu is caused by viruses;they are entirely different infectious disease-causing organisms. Although the name includes "influenzae" it is not a "flu" virus. When this bacterium was first named in 1892, it was during an influenza pandemic at the time. It was thought then to be the cause of the influenza until 1933 when more was known about viruses and Hib was determined more conclusively to be bacterial and not viral. H. influenzae causes a wide range of different infectious disease processes but it does not cause the flu.
