Keeping Our Federal Workforce Healthy This Flu Season and Beyond

November 10, 2014

The flu season is quickly approaching. Unfortunately, Americans lose as many as 17 million workdays each year to influenza-related illness. An annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect against influenza, avoiding illness that can sometimes be severe enough to lead to hospitalization and even death. You can help us ensure all Federal employees take action to reduce the spread of influenza in the workplace, among our families, and in our communities by sharing the Flu Memo and Flyer to encourage flu vaccination throughout our Federal family.
