FFF Enterprises in Temecula, Calif., is the country’s most reliable distributor of vaccines, including vaccines like Fluzone®, manufactured by sanofi pasteur, Inc., in part because of the company’s mission to offer healthcare professionals effective and secure flu vaccines. FFF also distributes Afluria by CSL Biotherapies and Fluvirin by Novartis Vaccines.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), helping people to stay healthy and flu-free begins by taking three steps to fight the flu. The first step encourages people to take time to get a flu vaccine. The second step says to take everyday preventative actions to stop the spread of germs. And the third tells everyone to take flu antiviral drugs if your doctor prescribes them. Since 2010, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization ...
... Practices (ACIP) “voted for the universal flu vaccination in the U.S. to expand protection against the flu to more people.” So everyone 6 months of age and older is strongly recommended to get vaccinated against the seasonal flu. Safe and effective vaccines like Fluzone can help stop the potentially deadly spread of influenza.

FFF has helped simplify the distribution of influenza vaccines like Fluzone by introducing a groundbreaking platform called MyFluVaccine (www.MyFluVaccine.com), now in its fifth year. In addition to easy online ordering for vaccines like Fluzone, the MyFluVaccine website offers resources, clinic planning tools, news and updates. There are unique educational sections for consumers and employer groups, as well as providers. FFF has also produced a “Flu Vaccine Myths & Facts” brochure that is downloadable as a PDF from the website, or as a printed booklet that healthcare physicians can request for their patients.

Similar to other vaccines, Fluzone works by motivating the immune system to produce antibodies against the virus that cause flu. With hundreds of flu clinics already organized nationwide and more in the planning phase, physicians are telling their patients to take the influenza virus seriously. The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Accurate information is critical during any flu season because many people do not understand how flu vaccines work or who should be immunized. Since the flu is often misrepresented, many people think that it is too late to get immunized. While it is acknowledged that September, October and November are the recommended months for vaccination, getting a flu vaccination later in the season (December-March) can still protect you as flu season often peaks after January.

This year Fluzone contains three different strains of the flu virus that have been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as being prevalent for the 2011/12 flu season. These strains are: influenza A (California H1N1 like virus), influenza A (Perth H3N2 like virus) and influenza B (Brisbane like virus).

For physicians, fighting seasonal flu begins with ordering flu vaccines. Organizing and supporting a flu clinic is challenging enough without having to be worried about scheduling the delivery of flu vaccine. Therefore, having access to a trustworthy distribution of dependable flu vaccines is essential. Public health officials agree that getting vaccinated is the single best way to stop influenza in its tracks and maintain public health. For more information, visit www.MyFluVaccine.com.
