Additional Flu Fighters to be featured during NIVW
Every year, people around the world work to study, track, and prevent flu. Flu Fighters is focused on putting a spotlight on the many partners across the country that work daily to fight flu. Additional columns will be published during NIVW on our partner page.
Share Your Flu Fighter Story
Do you know someone who works to promote flu vaccination and prevent the spread of flu? During NIVW, we are encouraging partners to tell us stories about their flu fighters.
Whether it is a parent who makes sure their entire family is vaccinated every year, a health care provider who goes above and beyond to ensure their patients are protected from flu, or a community advocate that organizes flu clinics – we want to hear from you!

Write 1-3 sentences or share a meaningful flu quote from your Flu Fighter on social along with an image of your flu fighter. Include the hashtags #WhyIFightFlu and #FightFlu in your posts!
