Communicating the Benefits of Influenza Vaccine

We’ve released the latest rendition of our Communicating the Benefits of Influenza Vaccine During COVID-19 handout with Immunize.org. The handout includes updated recommendations on flu vaccines and tips for discussing them with patients.

Contact us for an editable version to co-brand with your immunization program’s logo.

Influenza (flu) severity varies from year to year, but flu season always brings serious consequences.

Flu outbreaks are unpredictable; vaccination is the best preparation for any influenza season.

Flu vaccination is the best way to prevent the flu and its complications.

Everyone age 6 months and older is recommended to get a yearly flu vaccine. This can markedly lower the risk of influenza-related illness, hospitalization, and death. Flu vaccination rates have
fallen in recent years, leaving more people at risk of severe flu. Take advantage of every
opportunity to make a strong recommendation for flu vaccine and other vaccines your
patients may need, such as COVID-19, RSV, and pneumococcal vaccines. Flu vaccine may
be given at the same time as other vaccines.
