We love sharing valuable information for clients and friends through the Capture Billing blog! This week, we are even MORE excited to join partners across the country for the #NIVW2016 Blog-A-Thon and social media blitz in support of National Influenza Vaccination Week.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC) established NIVW in 2005 to highlight the importance of continuing flu vaccination through the holiday season and beyond.
A goal of #NIVW2016 is to remind people that even though the holiday season has arrived, it’s not too late to get their flu vaccine. As long as flu viruses are spreading and causing illness, vaccination should continue throughout the flu season in order to protect as many people as possible against the flu.
The #NIVW2016 week of awareness will provide an opportunity for public health professionals, health care providers, health advocates, communities, and families from across the country to work together to promote flu vaccination before the traditional winter peak in flu activity.
Flu seasons are unpredictable and can begin early in the fall and last late into the spring. By focusing on one week in early December, partners can bring together resources and reach people before flu season swings into full gear.
Today through Friday, we’ve lined up some great guest posts, cool infographics and key flu facts to share with you. Here are four ways you can help us raise awareness this week:
