September-October 2019
As flu season approaches, it is time once again to vaccinate your patients to prevent the flu. Although flu activity peaks between December and February, be sure to keep the vaccination stocked as flu season can last until May.
Please pay special attention to the high-risk populations:
- Adults 65 and over
- Pregnant women
- Children under age five
- Individuals with chronic illnesses
Providers are the most trusted source of vaccine information and advice for their patients.
To learn about successful strategies for increasing flu vaccination rates among your patients, view the webinar below, "How to Increase Influenza Vaccine Coverage in Your Clinic", presented by the California Department of Public Health.
