Video no longer available

|
| This 40-second PSA from the American Nurses Association (ANA) serves as a reminder for nurses and the public to stay up-to-date with their immunizations to prevent disease outbreak, particularly seasonal influenza and Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccines. The increase in pertussis cases and recent pertussis-related infant deaths in California highlight the importance of teens, adults, and healthcare workers getting a one-time dose of Tdap vaccine. |
