AHA marks National Influenza Vaccination Week with new resources
In recognition of National Influenza Vaccination Week, AHA is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on a series of resources encouraging families to take steps to protect themselves and their loved ones from seasonal flu and remind everyone that still needs to get vaccinated against flu and COVID-19, if eligible, to be protected during the upcoming holidays and winter months. Visit AHA’s United Against the Flu page for fact sheets and other resources designed for clinical staff and community members, and download our latest flu packet. You can also visit AHA’s vaccine confidence page for more information on the COVID-19 vaccine.
