SUMMARY:Medicare Open Enrollment
DESCRIPTION:CMS has an FAQ on its website which explains how to change plans\, purchase part D/prescription drug coverage and other eligibility rules. It might be a good time for reporters to think about doing a story on what’s changed\, what’s the same and how rates/coverage may differ due to various CMS budget changes. \n

SUMMARY:National Influenza Vaccination Week
DESCRIPTION: A national awareness week focused on highlighting the importance of influenza vaccination. \nCDC established National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) in 2005 to highlight the importance of continuing flu vaccination through the holiday season and beyond. \n\n\nPeople at high risk of serious flu complications include young children\, pregnant women\, people with certain chronic health conditions like asthma\, diabetes\, heart disease or lung disease\, and people 65 years and older. \n\n\nFor people at high risk\, getting the flu can be more serious than for other people. Flu is more likely to lead to serious flu complications that can result in hospitalization or even death. \n\n\nAnyone who gets flu can pass it to someone at high risk of severe illness\, including children younger than 6 months who are too young to get a flu vaccine.
