2021 NFID Flu Vaccine Clinic

Through the Leading By Example initiative, NFID calls on organizations/companies to lead by example by making a commitment to disease prevention. By getting vaccinated, we can all help prevent the spread of diseases including influenza (flu), COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and pneumococcal disease.


Join the growing list of partners to participate in the following activities:

  • Support and promote the NFID Commitment to Influenza Prevention
  • Share photos and/or videos on social media of key organization leader(s) getting vaccinated, tagged with #LeadingByExample and the relevant hashtag(s): #FightFlu, #PreventPneumo, #PreventRSV, #StopTheSpread. Be sure to tag @NFIDvaccines to be featured on the NFID website/social media.
  • Encourage followers to #GetVaccinated by sharing Leading By Example sample social media posts on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and other social media channels
  • Include a #FightFlu paddle in your flu vaccination photos
  • Show your commitment to annual flu prevention by helping the #TravelingFluBug spread awareness, not disease

Guidance for High Quality Photos and Videos

  • Ask a family member, colleague, or friend to photograph or film you getting vaccinated
  • If there is natural light available, try to take the photo or video as close to it as possible
  • Do not include others in your photo/film unless you have their permission
  • Look at the camera as you are getting vaccinated
  • Please wear a mask as recommended
  • Prior to filming, ensure there are no brands or logos displayed in the area around you

Ensure that the person filming you does the following:

  • Films in landscape mode (phone rotated horizontally) (Note: This step is not recommended for Instagram posts)
  • Holds phone as steady as possible
  • Makes sure the frame is lined up with you in the center, so that it is clear that you are getting vaccinated
