2020 NIVW Digital Media Toolkit
From December 6-12, 2020 we will be observing National Influenza Vaccination Week, reminding everyone 6 months and older that it’s not too late to get a flu vaccine. Included below are CDC’s NIVW resources, vaccination messages, and activities you can use to share key information on flu with your networks.
- Social Media Content: Use our suggested Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn copy to spread the word. Schedule content to remind your networks about the importance of flu vaccination throughout the week. Use #FightFlu to join the conversation all week long and tag us at @CDCFlu on Twitter!
- User-Generated Campaign: Show us your #SleeveUp shot and share why you’re getting a flu shot this year as part of our user-generated campaign. We’ll be featuring posts from partners on our channels throughout the week.
- Coordinated Social Share (Tweetstorm): Join @CDCFlu on Wednesday, December 9 at 12PM in a coordinated tweetstorm by posting our suggested content (or your own) to collectively lift our message around the importance of flu vaccination and create a moment.
- Sample Newsletter Blurb: Include our sample blurb in your email newsletter or other communications to let others know about NIVW and the upcoming activities.
- Patient Reminder Messages: Remind patients at your practice to get their annual flu vaccine by sharing these messages through your patient portal or other reminders.
- Template Matte Releases: Tailor and share our matte releases for essential workers and people with chronic conditions to help spread awareness around the importance of flu vaccination among these groups.
- Radio PSA Audio Files: Distribute our radio PSA to help encourage essential workers to protect themselves and the communities they serve by getting their flu vaccine.
