The information below is from the Immunization Action Coalition, www.immunize.org
The CDC’s HCP Fight Flu Toolkit provides primary care physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals (HCP) with the resources needed to fight the flu in their practices. The materials will equip HCP to make strong influenza vaccine recommendations, facilitate productive conversations with patients, and improve influenza vaccination rates.
The 2020–21 Digital Campaign Toolkit includes a listing of events, print-ready materials in multiple languages, sample social media and newsletter content, videos, web resources, and a VaccineFinder web widget. This material is downloadable, shareable, and some of the material is customizable. Important dates featured include the CDC’s Instagram Flu Vaccination Q&A on October 7 and National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW), which runs from December 6–12.
Both toolkits can be viewed and downloaded in Spanish by choosing the “Español” link at the top of the page.
