This image depicted University students, enrolled in health care programs, who were lined up to get their influenza vaccine, in Casablanca, Morocco, during the country’s 2014-2015 influenza season. In 2006, Morocco began working under a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to conduct influenza surveillance. Since then, data from Morocco’s surveillance system has been used to estimate the country’s burden of influenza, and define its seasonality, pointing to the possible benefit of Morocco having its own national flu vaccination program for certain groups. In light of those data, in 2013, Morocco worked with CDC to expand the country’s existing flu vaccine policy, and the next year, Morocco implemented a larger influenza vaccination campaign.
