We are partnering with The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to promote flu vaccinations for this year’s #FightFlu campaign!
As CCI Stakeholders, we hope that you will join us in sharing the importance of annual flu vaccinations with beneficiaries, their families and caregivers, providers, and other community members that you serve. Your organization can find free resources on CalDuals.org to help promote flu prevention among dual eligible beneficiaries and related populations. Many of these resources are available in multiple languages, including Arabic, Armenian, Cambodian, Chinese (Simplified), Farsi, Hindi, Hmong, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
To support stakeholders in the #FightFlu campaign, CMS has provided several draft tweets and Facebook posts that your organization can customize and share. CMS hopes that your organization will help raise awareness across social media and email listservs to promote flu vaccines on December 9th during National Influenza Vaccinations Week, December 6 – 12, 2020 using the hashtag #FightFlu.
Draft Tweets:
- Spread the word about FREE advertisements in multiple languages to promote annual vax in your clinic http://calduals.org/learn-more-resources/flu-vaccine-campaign/ #FightFlu #CalMediConnect
