PSAs for National Influenza Vaccination Week
 
This is National Influenza Vaccination Week. You received this PSA
information from CDC, but as a reminder:
 
Who:     The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released
several PSAs in observance of National Influenza Vaccination Week. 
        
What:   To help promote National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW)
January 10th-16th, 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) has made available several high-quality public service
announcements (PSAs) ready for public viewing and broadcast. 
 
The PSAs feature :30 and :60 variations appropriate for the general
public, as well as special ethnic and minority populations. “I never get
the flu” directly addresses common excuses that may be barriers for a
variety of groups who should seek H1N1 (swine flu) influenza
vaccination.
 
National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) is a national observance
that was established to highlight the importance of continuing influenza
vaccination, as well as fostering greater use of flu vaccine after the
holiday season into January and beyond.
