December 1-5, 2025 is National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW), an important reminder that as long as flu viruses are circulating, it is not too late to get vaccinated. Even when flu vaccination does not prevent infection completely, it can help protect against serious flu-related complications, including hospitalization and death.
The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) has compiled resources from NFID and partner organizations that can be used during NIVW and throughout the season to help raise awareness about the importance of flu prevention and treatment.
