Did you know American Indians and Alaska Natives are up to four
times more likely than the general U.S. population to die from
pneumonia and other influenza-related conditions? Even healthy
college students like you can get the flu, and it can be
serious. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu
vaccine every year. December 2-8, 2012 is National Influenza
Vaccination Week (NIVW), a national observance established by
the CDC to highlight the importance of continuing flu
vaccination through the holiday season and beyond. So please
take the flu vaccination pledge to get vaccinated. The flu
vaccine is safe. And you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine.
Your flu vaccine protects me. My flu vaccine protects you.
Together, let’s protect the circle of life. Learn more at
