National Influenza Vaccination Week December 8 - December 14, 2008 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced the week of, Deceember 8 to December 14, as National Influenza Vaccination Week. This event is designed to highlight the importance of continuing influenza (flu) vaccination, as well as foster greater use of flu vaccine through the months of November, December and beyond. CDC is recommending that people take this opportunity to be vaccinated and is hopeful that flu vaccine providers will use this time to enhance flu vaccine availability by scheduling additional clinics; extending clinic hours; and enabling a larger role for mass vaccination at places such as retail locations. CDC will have materials available commemorating National Influenza Vaccination Week and promoting the importance of flu vaccination throughout the winter months at the website link above.
