Every year on the first of December, the National AIDS Trust sponsors World AIDS day to raise awareness, show support for people living with HIV, and unite in the fight against HIV.

National Influenza Vaccination Week

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes National Influenza Vaccination Week from December 5 to 11 to highlight the importance of flu vaccination. Check out CDC’s digital media toolkit for key messages and resources on flu you can share with your community. You can also help spread the word by sharing our MyHealthfinder resources on protection from seasonal flu. Check out the Healthy People 2030 objective focused on increasing the number of people who get a flu vaccine. And finally, be sure to read the second phase of the National Action Plan to Prevent Health-care Associated Infections: Roadmap to Elimination focused on increasing flu vaccination among health care professionals.

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV)
