Flu prevention measures

Santé publique France is implementing flu prevention measures through various resources designed for the general public and healthcare professionals.

Santé publique France helps promote vaccination through various tools (website, promotional campaigns, brochures, etc.). We have created an informational website on the different vaccinations available in France to provide reliable, scientifically validated answers to questions that the public and healthcare professionals may have on the subject.

A section dedicated to flu vaccination is available in two separate sections: one aimed at the general public and the other aimed at healthcare professionals, to better support them in their practice

In addition, Santé publique France conducts communication campaigns to prevent the spread of the flu through brochures, videos, radio spots, and more. All of these resources are available under the “Resources” tab

In the event of an epidemic and upon referral by the Ministry of Health, Santé publique France is also responsible for disseminating emergency messages, reminding the public of simple hygiene measures to limit the spread of the flu epidemic.
