Program Abstract:
According to the CDC, the common flu kills nearly 36,000 people each year. As university health professionals, we’re on the front lines every October when flu season begins -- and though the ACHA Healthy Campus 2020 target for flu vaccination remains 50 percent, most campuses continue to fall short of that goal. In 2017-18, UCLA’s Arthur Ashe Student Health & Wellness Center successfully vaccinated nearly one quarter of our 43,000 enrolled students (N=10,765). In this program, learn a number of strategies for growing flu vaccination rates on your campus.
