Help Raise Awareness and
#FightFlu This Season!

On December 6, join the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on social media to promote flu vaccinations using the hashtags #FightFlu and #CalMediConnect! Share the message that getting an annual flu vaccination is important for beneficiaries and their families, care providers, and community members. Amplify your organization's commitment to combating the flu this season by tweeting, blogging, and sending newsletters to your stakeholders.
To get you started, draft tweets, Facebook posts, newsletter, and blog language are available. Please contact Lydia Orth at
Lydia.Orth@cms.hhs.gov
to get these resources and let her know that your organization would like to be a partner.
CMS also wants to hear from you about your efforts. Do you have lessons from your flu outreach efforts or best practices that can be leveraged and shared with others?
