Despite recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, three out of five health care personnel put themselves, their families, and their patients at risk by not being vaccinated against the flu. 

Become a Flu Fighter.  Protect yourself, your colleagues, and your patients. 

The Michigan Department of Community Health Flu Education Workgroup, along with partners from the Michigan Flu Advisory Board, Michigan Advisory Committee on Immunization, and Alliance for Immunization in Michigan has developed a Flu Fighter Action Kit to serve as a framework for implementing an immunization program in a health care facility, geared at immunizing health care personnel against influenza. Information in this kit can be modified to develop an immunization program for all health care personnel vaccinations.
