Flu vaccination

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention offers a wealth of resources and tools surrounding the importance of vaccination. Visit the CDC’s Influenza Information for Healthcare Professionals page to get the latest guidance on vaccinations, flu prevalence tracking by geography, and tips for talking with patients about getting the flu shot.

For help making a strong recommendation for flu vaccination, the CDC offers a #fightflu toolkit with patient education materials and helpful videos with examples of how to make your recommendation.
