#MaskUp, #LatherUp, and #SleeveUp

This fall and winter, flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 may both spread. Wearing a mask, washing hands often, and getting a flu vaccine are three simple actions that everyone, especially people at higher risk of developing serious flu complications, should take to help reduce the spread of flu and help save medical resources needed to care for people with COVID-19. Encourage followers to #MaskUp, #LatherUp, and roll their #SleeveUp this flu season with sample social media content, videos and graphics.
