For six months of every year – typically November through April – that coughing, sneezing, sniffling, aching, feverish feeling is a sign that the flu has caught you!
With more people unmasked and emergency departments already overflowing, getting vaccinated against the seasonal flu and COVID-19 is an important step to protect yourself and others this flu season.
The NSNU understands that nurses are already aware of the significance of immunization and the risks the flu poses to vulnerable groups – such as seniors, children, pregnant individuals, and those who are immunocompromised. Nurses know the facts.
Each year, NSNU shares an Influenza Immunization
campaign aimed at educating the public, easing the strain on health practitioners as they continue their vital work.
Once again, we’re encouraging all Nova Scotians to do their part to alleviate the pressures healthcare workers face every day. Show a little muscle in the fight against the flu!
Our campaign to Fight the Flu is communicated through various channels, including earned media, a dedicated webpage, video messaging and social media
promotions.
