Good practices: Diabetes Australia influenza and diabetes social media campaign

Stay well and stay out of hospital. Be prepared. Get your annual flu shot.

As Australia leads into winter, Diabetes Australia has launched its social media campaign on flu and diabetes. They also ran a survey amongst their member base, with nearly 9 out of 10 people said they are getting the flu shot this year. Some of the reasons given by those who said they are note getting a influenza vaccination included concerns about vaccines not working or being unsafe, or thinking one can catch influenza from the vaccine. In response Diabetes Australia have also updated their influenza messaging on their website. https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/living-with-diabetes/preventing-co…
