Here’s information and resources to share with patients about flu vaccine

This is part of an ongoing series of articles focusing on the tools and resources available to help FEP members manage their health.

With flu season in full swing, we wanted to make sure you have the resources you need to help encourage your patients to get the flu shot.

Here are some resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

• Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices**
• Make a Strong Flu Vaccine Recommendation**

Encouraging patients with chronic conditions to get the flu vaccine is especially important but can sometimes be challenging. The following are flyers you can share with patients:

• Flu Vaccine: Get the Facts**
• Flu & People with Asthma**
• Flu & People with Diabetes**
• Flu & People with Heart Disease or History of Stroke**
