Inform To Help

Awareness is the first step towards real change. In an effort to help you share the facts about flu with others, we offer educational materials and social media graphics available as free downloadable files, and many can be ordered as hard copy materials for doctors’ offices, healthcare clinics, schools, and other important places within your community.

Give To Help

We work hard to make sure that at least 80% of your donation dollars go directly to program-related expenses. Your tax-deductible donations help us continue our education and advocacy programs in an effort to save lives.

"As a parent and school nurse, I believe in the value of the annual influenza vaccination! I advocate for it since it protects against serious illness, potentially including hospitalization and the possibility of any long-lasting health risks."

- Deb Robarge

Executive Director, Indiana Association of School Nurses
