| Activity | Get V’d Campaign/ Flu Vaccination Promotion |
| Description | Hebrew Senior Life is hosting the Get V’d Campaign To promote influenza vaccination this year, we have come up with a slogan designed to be provocative and engaging and yet strongly and succinctly express the importance of getting vaccinated. Get V’d. The letter and symbol of a “V” commonly evokes a number of associations. In this case, not only does the “V” represent the “V” in vaccination, and therefore the importance of getting vaccinated, but also as a symbol of peace, the peace of mind that you will feel, knowing that you will not get ill with the flu. In addition the “V” stands for the “V” in victory that you will have over the flu as well as other secondary illnesses like pneumonia. The Get V’d Campaign can serve as a model to the larger community and other healthcare facilities. It represents a unique and creative approach to promoting influenza vaccination.

| Description | National Foundation for Infectious Disease (NFID) data that 4 in 10 patients have never talked to their health care professional (HCP) about influenza vaccination and 7 in 10 say they would be likely or very likely to get influenza vaccine if their HCP recommended it. The purpose of the flu monthly posters is to encourage dialogue between patients and HCP about flu vaccination. The posters are targeted towards individuals and families, with a message that is simple and straight to the point: get your flu vaccination this year and every year. Further, these posters should be utilized by HCP to foster efforts towards extending the flu vaccination season throughout the winter months and even into February and March.
