Foil the Flu, the annual seasonal influenza immunization program for all NIH staff, begins Monday, Sept. 29 and runs through Nov. 7. 

All staff with a valid NIH identification badge are eligible to receive a free flu vaccine and are encouraged to be vaccinated. Staff with patient contact participate through vaccination or declination.

The flu vaccine will be given by appointment only, for all sites, through an online registration system. 

NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently appeared on Lara Trump's show, My View with Lara Trump, on Fox News. Before the taping, the two spent time chatting in the Clinical Center. Also in recent weeks, Bhattacharya participated in discussions at NIH’s annual Tribal Advisory Committee meeting.
