The meeting will be facilitated by Dr. Carolyn Bridges, former Associate Director of Adult Immunizations at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This meeting is being hosted by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health – Region 10.
Specific meeting objectives include:
- Identify strategic partnerships to increase access to seasonal flu vaccinations;
- Understand how messaging can support greater uptake of seasonal flu vaccination;
- Maximize strategies to reach vulnerable populations;
- Identify opportunities and methods for leveraging 2020/2021 seasonal influenza immunization efforts to strengthen infrastructure for future COVID-19 immunization.
Join us for a day of presentations by subject matter experts, panel discussions highlighting the work of organizations in the region, and networking with colleagues. The meeting will be an opportunity to collaborate with and learn from other adult immunization stakeholders to support increasing immunizations for the 2020/2021 flu season to reduce the burden of flu illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths on the health care system and conserve scarce medical resources for the care of people with COVID-19.
Thank you for your efforts to promote the flu vaccine during this unprecedented time in history.
