VA’s Flu Posters are designed and tagged for a variety of audiences. The audience tag is at the bottom of each poster and listed as part of the description for each poster on this site:
All (General Audiences) – Includes patients, visitors, and all staff who work in clinics and hospitals.
Clinical – Includes clinic and hospital staff who work with patients and are familiar with technical health care terminology, such as nurses, doctors, trainees, and other health professionals.
Staff Areas Only - Includes all staff who work in health care facilities, whether or not they have a health care background, such as nonclinical employees, volunteers and others.
