CDC has launched the #VaxWithMe selfie campaign as an innovative way to capture and share flu vaccination promotion across various digital platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube). This campaign encourages individuals to share photos and videos of themselves (hashtagged #VaxWithMe) during or after getting a flu shot.

 Influenza (flu) viruses are constantly changing. They can change from one season to the next and even within the course of one flu season. These changes can result in the seasonal flu vaccine providing less than optimal protection or in the emergence of new influenza viruses against which people have no preexisting immunity. For example, a new H1N1 flu virus emerged in 2009 after the seasonal vaccine was formulated. Though millions of people received the seasonal flu vaccine, it did not protect them from this particular H1N1 strain, which spread in people and caused a global flu pandemic.
