On average, according to the U.S. Department of Health (DOH), 5 to 20 percent of the population gets the seasonal flu.  More the 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related complications while 23,600 die from related causes. Not only are these facts frightening, but also remind all of us how important it is that we and our loved ones get vaccinated against this potentially lethal illness.

Protection from the Flu is a Matter Life and Death

You can easily use custom lapel pins to promote awareness of and encourage immunization against influenza viruses. Considering the randomness and sometimes fatal effects of flu pandemics like the H1NI (swine) or H5N1 (bird), distributing awareness lapel pins will help motivate people to visit their doctor’s offices, local clinics and health departments to receive their flu shots.

Awarding lapel pins to everyone who gets immunized early is another nice gesture that will aid with inspiring others to take similar action.  Creating a lapel pin design that includes phrases like “Did You Get Your Flu Shot Today?!” or “Get Vaccinated! I Did”, are the best ways to display self-care and spread the message.

G etting a Flu shot has become an imperative part of our health care. Organizations administering shots can wear lapel pins to help draw attention to this fact. In this situation, pins can be designed to show the organization’s name and location, making them easy to identify and find for future reference.

Inspiring Positive Change with One Pin at a Time

Despite their small size, custom lapel pins can make a huge impact when designed and used to their full potential.  We take pride in creating pins that are used to improve the overall quality of people’s lives.
