before or during administration of flu shots. IIf you have a busy, high volume setting, you will want to have someone dedicated to managing the flu shot line to keep things running smoothly. You may also want to set up a separate station for FIT\/FOBT several feet in front of the station where flu shots are being offered. If you are in an outpatient clinic that is providing the FLU-FIT or FLU-FOBT Program during primary care visits, or in a lower volume setting with limited space, you will likely want to provide FIT\/FOBT and flu shots together at the same clinic station. Make sure to select all of your patient education materials in advance and have your work stations well stocked with FIT\/FOBT kits and flu shots so that your team is well prepared for success.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n        <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-72bfd0b8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"72bfd0b8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-372d212e\" data-id=\"372d212e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67761ba2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-aux_divider\" data-id=\"67761ba2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"aux_divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<hr class=\"aux-divider-symbolic-circle aux-divider-medium aux-divider-align-center aux-symbol-align-center\" >\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7674444 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7674444\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-38ac6fe6\" data-id=\"38ac6fe6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c950a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9c950a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/flufit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/happiness-cheerful-elderly-woman-men-talking-with-female-caregiver-nurse-doctor-having-health-checking-consult-living-areacaretakers-with-senior-couple-sitting-living-room-nursing-home-q6k7qcpf29rcrvj6e9r0lvdtpqv2rdz6maoa214u1c.png\" title=\"happiness-cheerful-elderly-woman-men-talking-with-female-caregiver-nurse-doctor-having-health-checking-consult-living-areacaretakers-with-senior-couple-sitting-living-room-nursing-home\" alt=\"happiness-cheerful-elderly-woman-men-talking-with-female-caregiver-nurse-doctor-having-health-checking-consult-living-areacaretakers-with-senior-couple-sitting-living-room-nursing-home\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20058cf6\" data-id=\"20058cf6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d6897a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-aux_modern_heading\" data-id=\"4d6897a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"aux_modern_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<section class=\"aux-widget-modern-heading\">\n            <div class=\"aux-widget-inner\"><h2 class=\"aux-modern-heading-primary\">Key 3<\/h2><h3 class=\"aux-modern-heading-secondary\"><span class=\"aux-head-before\">Assessing Eligibility for Flu Shots and for FIT or FOBT Without Waiting for a Doctor's Order.<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"aux-modern-heading-divider\"><\/div><div class=\"aux-modern-heading-description\"><p>The CDC has developed detailed free training programs for health professionals and clinic staff who provide flu shots.

What you say to patients will depend on how your FLU-FIT or FLU-FOBT Program is set up and what type of kit you provide to patients. Effective talking points may include phrases like this:<\/p><p><strong>We have something extra to offer you today!<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>It looks like you are due for a home colon test<\/strong><br \/><strong>Colon cancer screening can save lives<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Just like a flu shot, all our doctors and nurses recommend home colon tests<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>It\u2019s very easy -- you can do it in the privacy of your home and mail it in<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>We\u2019ll make sure the results get to your doctor<\/strong><\/p><p>Patients who accept the kit should be given additional written material and instructions. If the patient is unfamiliar with FIT or FOBT, it is can be useful to take a moment to show the patient the kit and offer simple instructions with a visual aid or a brief instructional video.
