Flu Videos Answer Common Questions

The Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition, or CIIC, has posted new influenza vaccination videos that address some of the most commonly asked questions about the flu. In each of the 16 videos, coalition experts answer a different question about influenza including
• What are the symptoms?
• Who should be vaccinated?
• Why should my child be vaccinated?
• Where can I get vaccinations?
• Should pregnant women be vaccinated?

The CIIC Web site also offers an interactive "Flu Rick Calculator" and information about the seriousness of influenza, its impact and the importance of an annual vaccination.

Established by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, CIIC's mission is "to protect infants, children and adolescents from influenza by communicating with 'one strong voice' the need to make influenza immunization a national health priority."
