Answers:
Actually, Toots, it's not common for adults to vomit with the Influenza virus or rhino virus.it is more than common to vomit with Norwalk virus which is often confused as the "stomach flu".The stomach flu does not exist.

Influenza virus: High fever, chills, body aches,fatigue etc.
Rhino virus: Stuffy/runny nose, cough etc.

Influenza hits you on your *** while the rhino virus just makes you uncomfortable.
