Be a part of APHA's Flu Near You Challenge
Help track the flu by taking part in APHA’s Flu Near You Challenge. Sign up for the challenge and you could win cash and other awards!
So how does it work? APHA’s Get Ready campaign has 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.
And that’s where you come in. APHA is helping Flu Near You find those millions of participants. We need you to recruit them, and we’re offering cash and other awards to APHA members in appreciation of their efforts. In short, we want you to find people — such as your friends, family, co-workers, etc. — who are willing to report their flu symptoms (or lack of them) weekly through Flu Near You surveys. The more people you sign up and the more weekly surveys they fill out, the better chance you have of winning an award.
APHA’s Flu Near You Challenge, created with the support of the Skoll Global Threats Fund, is open only to APHA members. Want to know more? Read our rules and regulations and our FAQs.
