MyNACCHO LoginAnnually, influenza presents a substantial burden to the health of individuals across the United States. It is estimated that influenza results in 9.3 to 41 million illnesses, which lead to many hospitalizations and deaths each year. Influenza vaccination is highly recommended as a safe and effective preventive measure.
Local health departments (LHD) play an important role in protecting communities from influenza. LHDs are on the frontlines in providing influenza education and outreach, administering influenza vaccinations, and coordinating resources to prepare for the threat of a pandemic influenza emergency.
NACCHO is
strengthening local health departments’ (LHD) capacity to control and prevent
the spread of influenza by creating learning opportunities, providing technical
support and resources, and facilitating peer exchange. In addition to the below resources, visit the NACCHO Toolbox to access many influenza resources that have been shared with NACCHO by LHDs. You can find these resources by selecting Immunization Toolkit from the "Toolkits" drop-down menu, which sits just below the search bar.
