This paper deals with the fractional-order SIRC model associated with the evolution of influenza A disease in human population. Qualitative dynamics of the model is determined by the basic reproduction number, R0. We give a detailed analysis for the asymptotic stability of disease-free and positive fixed points. Nonstandard finite difference methods have been used to solve and simulate the system of differential equations.
