Well I mean technically the virus is influenza, and technically "germ" is a catch-all for any infectious organism, be it bacteria, virus, protozoa, or fungi.
They really hit it out of the park though by using two non-technical terms, which is decidedly unhelpful. But I guess the sign's message is clear and direct.
"Flu" is just bad though, because in reality flu also ends up being a catch-all thanks to numerous infections producing those same "flu-like symptoms."
