For Healthcare Providers

Immunization is the best way to prevent illness from influenza and its complications. Healthcare personnel, whether in direct contact with patients or not, have an important role to play in preventing the spread of influenza by getting immunized each year. It is important for all healthcare personnel to recognize the importance of influenza immunization and to encourage others to get immunized, to protect themselves and everyone around them, including their families.

The Canadian Healthcare Influenza Immunization Network (CHIIN) has developed a comprehensive guide and companion toolkit for program planners to build a successful influenza immunization program.
