APHA's Flu Near You Challenge

APHA's Flu Near You Challenge Ends

APHA’s Flu Near You Challenge has closed, but Flu Near You is still open for recruitment!

Last fall, APHA’s Get Ready campaign teamed up with HealthMap to help track flu cases through a new online flu surveillance tool, Flu Near You. People use the tool to report their flu symptoms, which will help map influenza. Flu Near You wants millions of people in the U.S. to participate.
