Flu Awareness Campaign
The Flu Awareness Campaign is marked across the WHO European Region every year in October. It aims to raise awareness of the importance of vaccination for people’s health and well-being and to increase the uptake of seasonal influenza vaccination of people with underlying risk factors.
But why a specific campaign on flu?
Influenza is usually mild and most people recover quickly. However, this contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses may occasionally cause severe disease and death.
The best way to prevent influenza is by getting vaccinated. As influenza viruses change, a flu shot is needed every year to keep up with the circulating viruses. In the northern hemisphere, the influenza season usually occurs during autumn and winter, and October is an optimal time to receive an influenza vaccination and to start the Campaign.
