ACP reminds physicians and public: Get your flu shot

ACP has signed on to "An Open Letter to the American People, " along with many other organizations in the public health community, to remind the public of the importance of getting vaccinated against the flu.

The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older receive an annual flu vaccine. The 2010-2011 flu vaccine protects against the 2009 H1N1 flu virus and two additional flu viruses that research indicates may cause the most illness this season. More immunization resources from ACP are available online.
