Don’t Delay, Fight Flu Today!
This year more than ever, getting a flu shot is not just about protecting yourself, but also your family, loved ones and community. This flu season, we’ve created storytelling tools to help spread the word about how serious the flu can be, and the importance of seasonal vaccination, especially this flu season.
Get involved and share your story on why you vaccinate for the flu!
How to Get Involved: Encourage Others to #DontDelayFightFluToday
