No need for the flu to scare you away from the Halloween fun. Take flu from wild to mild by getting vaccinated.

Influenza vaccine campaign poster. There's a magenta background with words in white: "A flu vaccine can take flu from WILD (over a picture of a rhinoceros) to mild (over a picture of a pink plastic toy unicorn). In the bottom right is an orange box with white text saying "#Fight Flu" and below that the blue CDC logo with "CDC" and the HHS logo in white.
💉Reminder! Don't forget to get your yearly Flu and COVID vaccine. Cases of both will start increasing soon 📈
Check with your medical providers, local pharmacies, and/or local health departments for COVID vaccine availability.

Flu season is (hopefully) slowing down. But that does not mean zero cases, it's definitely still circulating. Protect yourself, your family and colleagues. Ask your provider about vaccinating because even if you do get the flu, it can make all the difference between a wild or mild case. #wildtomild
#NPR reports that the #RFKJr.-led #CDC has halted the " #WildToMild" flu vaccination campaign that promotes #flu shots by emphasising their role in reducing symptoms & severe illness
The decision to pull the campaign comes as flu hospitalisations hit a 15yr high, with 50,000 admissions in a week
THE FLU IS GOING AROUND - AND IT'S A DOOZY. My nurse cousin, despite taking all precautions, still managed to get the flu. She almost had to be hospitalized. Really freaked me out. It doesn't make the news, but yes, you can die from the flu (especially the immunocompromised). Be careful. #wildtomild
HHS has now directed the CDC to stop its long running Flu campaign “Wild to Mild” — This is why it’s so dangerous to have an antivax crusader in charge. Please, listen to the science! Protect yourself and your community. Get vaccinated! #Resist #Persist #NursesOfBluesky #GetVaccinated #WildToMild
Get your vaccines! They work! Do not listen to RFK Jr. #fuckrfkjr #fucktrump #fuckelon #fuckthegop #resist #vaccinate #vaccinessavelives #wildtomild
Who all’s seen any #wildtomild #CDC influenza vaccine media campaign material that we can help keep going?
Trump Admin HHS has ordered the campaign to stop. 💉🤮 No one wants the flu but people forget to vaccinate until they’re reminded.
I need constant visual reminders because.. squirrels. 🐿️
