Friday Five – National Influenza Vaccination Week

Dec 9, 2022 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

Follow and join the conversation with #Fightflu, #InfluenzaVaccinationWeek and #FluView.

This past week was National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW), an annual observance in December to remind everyone 6 months and older that there’s still time to get vaccinated against flu. This week’s Friday Five provides information about this year’s flu vaccine, how pandemic preparation helps flu season, and an experimental mRNA vaccine.

Experimental mRNA Vaccine May Protect Against All 20 Influenza Virus Subtypes

An NIH-funded team has developed a unique “universal flu vaccine” that, with one seasonal shot, has the potential to build immune protection against any of the 20 known subtypes of influenza virus and protect against future outbreaks.

This #mRNA #vaccine might protect against all current and even future #influenza #virus subtypes. How it works on the #NIH Director’s Blog. https://t.co/eIGnYWHVoC

Information for Health Professionals

CDC (@CDCgov) provides public health and health care professionals key information about vaccination, infection control, prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of seasonal influenza.

As a #nurse, your recommendation to get a flu vaccine has a huge impact on a patient’s decision to get vaccinated. @CDCFlu has created resources for health care professionals to use when talking about the vaccine with their patients.

Four ways pandemic preparedness improves efforts to prevent seasonal influenza

Healthcare providers and public health officials know the importance of getting annual vaccines to protect against the influenza virus strains commonly circulating. What people don’t always think about is that work on pandemic influenza preparedness improves seasonal vaccine quality and availability, too.

Preparing for the next influenza pandemic helps people every year when they get their seasonal #flu vaccines. Find out about ways that continued advances in pandemic preparedness are making a difference this flu season. https://t.co/etcS1OprqR #NIVW pic.twitter.com/uiGea5QJIb
