I have read that the Pharms have increased the manufacture of flu vaccines this year in anticipation of an increased uptake. Not surprising. Follow the $$$. I have worked in Corporate Finance of a Fortune 500 Pharm. Know how they operate.

There will be a bigger flu campaign this year. Get your Flu Shot. Save a hospital bed for a Covid patient.
Yep, more marketing bang for the buck .... with the intention of SCARING people in to getting it.

Notice how they NEVER use science to promote vaccines anymore? It's fear, guilt, embarrassment ...

Flu shots are easily and readily available every year. There’s no need to post a PSA every year letting people know the obvious.

You do not have to listen to the PSAs if you do not want to. The OP points out that this year the logistics of getting it will be more difficult. Perhaps telling people how to do it might be helpful.

Multiple PSAs, billboards, nightly news, banners on webpages ... trending everywhere. Every CVS/Walgreens/etc offering it ...

It's almost like the media is trying to brainwash people.

Name another marketing campaign for a product that is featured every day on the news as if it's ... news.

Because they aren't PSAs ... They are advertisements for a drug.

A PSA is: Don't Start Forest Fires.
Not: Go get this drug.

I get the flu shot every October. So I will see who is offering it at that time.

Lol. OK. In other news, ice cream stands open in the summer. Find one near you.

How would I find one if I did not know whether any in my neighborhood would be open? Wouldn't a PSA be helpful?

Your usual source for flu vaccine may not be an option. Why don't you want other people to get flu shots? Why does that threaten you so much?

Call your doctor? Check with your local pharmacy? Check with the local health dept. Exact same things you’d do every other year.
