CDC Resources for Clinicians on Making a Strong Flu Vaccine Recommendation and about the upcoming 2020-2021 Flu Season
Whether you’re a primary care physician, nurse, health care personnel, or working in an assisted living facility or with a population at high risk for serious flu complications, you play a significant role in helping protect people from influenza. The best available protection is annual influenza vaccination for all people ages 6 months and older. Getting a flu vaccine for yourself, and making a strong influenza vaccine recommendation to those you care for is especially important this year.
