     The flu is here and you can protect yourself and your family by insisting on flu shots for everyone. Follow the links below to more information on the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of the flu and why it is recommended.

Families Fighting Flu is a non-profit, volunteer-based corporation established in 2004 that is made up of families and health-care practitioners. Each family has experienced first-hand the death of a child due to the flu or has had a child experience severe medical complications from the flu. As we enter flu season, Families Fighting Flu wants to encourage parents to have their children vaccinated.

Today Families Fighting Flu (FFF), the National Association of Child Care Professionals (NACCP), and the Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition (CIIC) are launching their second annual childhood flu awareness campaign, "Fighting Flu in Child Care Settings: Building Blocks to Increase Influenza Awareness," to decrease the spread of flu in child care settings and increase flu vaccination rates around the country. You can learn more about this campaign here where you can also download a flu fact sheet and the results of our child care survey.

If you think this message is important, spread the word to others. The weather is changing, the holidays are upon us, and flu season is here.  Arm yourself with this important information to keep you and your family safe this season.

Happy Thanksgiving and Wishes for health and safety for all.
