The flu causes tens of millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and tens of thousands of deaths in the United States annually. To prevent hospitals and healthcare workers from being already overburdened caring for COVID-19 patients, it is more important than ever for everyone to protect themselves, their families and their communities by getting vaccinated against flu.
For education and resources to get vaccinated against the flu, please refer to the flu resource toolkit.

We are making a concerted effort to address long-standing disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic and flu season.
Face Mask Education Pop Ups
Your goodVillage Collective partnered with The Kidney Nurse, Earl & Associates and Alexandria Ballard Sims, RN to bring pop up mask education to various sites in the community via outdoor and virtual opportunities. During our efforts at public service, we saw community members with good intentions and the desire to remain safe but were wearing face masks incorrectly. It is our hope that with the proper mask education, we will provide support for the community’s collective efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
