Flu Vaccination Resources

Flu season is here. THA is leading a campaign to encourage everyone to get their flu shot during the 2020-2021 flu season. Hospitals and health care providers are working tirelessly to defend against COVID-19, and Texans should take the same precautions to protect their health this flu season. Use the best defense at our disposal: the flu shot. While THA actively promotes flu vaccination among the public, member hospitals are encouraged to use these resources to promote flu vaccination among their patients and communities.
