ACP reminds public to get flu shots during National Influenza Week
ACP is reminding physicians and the public to get their H1NI and seasonal flu shots–if they haven't already–during National Influenza Week, Jan. 10-16. While vaccination rates typically decline after November, flu viruses can circulate well into the spring and summer. ACP president Joseph W. Stubbs, FACP, says that getting vaccinated is key in preventing a potential third wave of H1N1. Between April and November 2009, the H1N1 virus infected more than 45 million Americans, resulting in more than 200,000 hospitalizations, and complications from seasonal flu place a similar burden on the health care system each year. More information about adult vaccination and resources are available online.
