National Influenza Vaccination Week continues with a focus on the importance of young adults getting vaccinated against the H1N1 flu.

Today, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will visit Hunter College in New York City for a roundtable discussion with students and faculty about the H1N1 flu.

Secretary Sebelius will also announce a new Facebook application called, "I'm a Flu Fighter" that allows users to tell their friends that they received the flu vaccination and urge others to do the same.
