American Hospital Association Releases United Against the Flu Toolkit

The American Hospital Association (AHA) has released its autumn-themed social media toolkit informing about and advocating for the COVID-19, influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines.

The toolkit features downloadable graphics and ready-to-use captions to promote the United Against the Flu campaign on any social media platform (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X).  Connecticut hospitals and health systems are invited to utilize these resources in their messaging on immunizations.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) continues to urge individuals to get their respiratory viral disease vaccinations.  DPH has launched its respiratory viral disease surveillance webpage, which includes a dashboard documenting the season’s case counts, vaccination rates, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations.  The data are scheduled to be updated every Friday through early spring.
