“How I Recommend Flu Vaccine: How to Make Recommendations that Matter to Patients”

The CDC & the Public Health Foundation* present…“How I Recommend Flu Vaccine: How to Make Recommendations that Matter to Patients”

Every year, there are large numbers of Americans who get sick and die as a result of seasonal flu. Yet, many of your patients may underestimate flu’s severity or their own susceptibility to catching the flu. If patients don’t understand that they are at risk and that risk could be serious, they may not prioritize getting their seasonal flu vaccines. Healthcare professionals are the most trusted source of health information for patients, and your recommendations make a difference when it comes to flu vaccination rates. You may already be recommending flu vaccine to your patients, but in this webinar, you’ll get tips on how to make even stronger and more effective recommendations. You’ll also learn how to answer many important questions from patients.

Objectives:

  • Understand burden and severity of last year’s flu season
  • Describe flu vaccine benefits, including potential flu burden averted by vaccination
  • Describe how to make a strong and effective flu vaccine recommendation to patients and why your recommendation matters
