Flu's Gonna Lose Campaign
The "Flu's Gonna Lose" campaign urges family and community members to spread the health by refusing the opportunity to experience the vagaries of this deadly disease and instead, offer up an arm to immunization, wash our hands, cover our coughs and sneezes, and stay home to stop the spread of disease. The campaign contains posters, web banners, buttons, and materials for PTAs.
