Fall is here, and so is flu season.
And, we’re afraid it’s nothing to sniffle at.
After last year’s particularly rough flu season — around due to the flu and its complications — public health officials are urging everyone to consider vaccinations.
If hard numbers don’t motivate your employees to consider vaccination benefits, we hope these flu shot marketing materials may encourage them.
Or, at the very least, get them thinking and talking about flu prevention, including thorough hand washing, covering a cough, and staying home when ill.
Here’s our favorite flu shot posters, PSA videos, and brochures:
