Ads During Bowl Games Will Urge Students to Get Swine-Flu Vaccine

With the H1N1 flu continuing to pose a particular threat to young people, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is using college-football bowl games to again urge college students and other young people to get vaccinated against the influenza disease, commonly known as swine flu. An advertisement promoting the flu vaccine, which is now said to be in plentiful supply, will air during the Gator Bowl, the GMAC Bowl, the Outback Bowl, and the Valero Alamo Bowl. The campaign reiterates Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s urging before the holidays that students get vaccinated.
