Flu

You’ve got the power to keep people healthy.
Thanks for using it wisely.

As a healthcare professional, you have the power to influence the health of your patients and our entire community by recommending the annual flu vaccine. Research shows that when healthcare professionals make strong recommendations, patients follow the advice. Use your power to help ensure your patients, staff, and colleagues are protected from flu.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) clearly states that the single best way to reduce influenza transmission in healthcare settings is through increased influenza vaccination. You can demonstrate the importance of influenza vaccination by getting vaccinated yourself and making sure patients know your office recommends flu vaccine for everyone over 6 months who is able to get it.
