Ohioans are responding to positive messages that urge frequent hand-washing, using sanitizers, wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and staying home when sick. Ohio’s healthcare leaders need to now add getting a flu vaccine to these important public health best practices.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers several free media toolkits to help vaccine proponents persuade individuals to get vaccinated against the flu. These free materials include social media posts, podcasts, print materials, public service announcements, and infographics, among other items.
Check out the 2020-21 Health Care Professional Fight Flu Toolkit for materials to strengthen your flu vaccine recommendations and boost your communications efforts.
This year’s digital media toolkit provides resources to anyone looking for materials to promote flu prevention and flu vaccination. The toolkit includes activities, sample social media and newsletter content, website badges, and online resources.
