National Flu Vaccination Week

Updated August 26, 2024

National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) is an annual observance in December to remind everyone 6 months and older that there's still time to get vaccinated against flu. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at higher risk of developing serious flu complications, including pregnant people and young children. Millions of children get sick with flu every year, and thousands will be hospitalized as a result. Pregnant people also are at higher risk of developing serious flu complications.

I'm starting to see and hear reports of the flu season starting. On my public transportation trips, I'm aware that more folks around me are coughing and sneezing, so make sure your vaccinations are up to date.
