National Flu Vaccination Week

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched its fifth annual National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) - December 5-11 - to highlight the importance and safety of flu vaccination, and to encourage Americans to get vaccinated. Today, the CDC effort got a push from Family Vaccination Day sponsored by Families Fighting Flu, which emphasizes the need for flu shots for the whole family.

This is the first year the CDC has recommended that everyone 6 months and older should receive an annual flu vaccine and has resulted in a greater publicity push to reach people of all ages – including people who are at high risk for developing flu-related complications.
