NVPO Updates: National Influenza Vaccination Week and Emerging Priorities in Antibiotic-Resistance

Updates from the National Vaccine Program Office

National Influenza Vaccination Week
is December 2-8, 2018

Rates of flu are beginning to increase across the nation. National Influenza Vaccination Week highlights the importance of flu vaccination and that it’s not too late to get vaccinated. In fact, flu vaccination offers life-saving protection before flu activity hits its peak — usually in February.

Join us to spread the word with resources, messages, and activities from CDC's Digital Media Toolkit. Learn more about flu on Vaccines.gov or join the conversation online using the #NIVW hashtag.

PACCARB wants to hear from you!

As the national landscape around antibiotic-resistance evolves, so must our national strategy. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks input on emerging priority areas within each of the five goals of the National Action Plan (NAP) for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria. The goals focus on prevention, surveillance, diagnostic testing, research and development, and international collaboration. Stakeholders from human, animal, and environmental health are invited to submit comments online by January 7, 2019.

The NAP is coordinated by the Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB). The PACCARB will discuss priority areas at their next public meeting on January 30-31, 2019.
