December 6-12 is National Influenza Vaccination Week! 

​National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) is an annual event to remind everyone that there’s still time to get a flu shot to help be protected against flu this winter. Together, we can use NIVW as a call to action to encourage those who have not already, to get their flu shot, especially those with certain chronic conditions. CDC has resources and information on how to participate in NIVW.
