Flu Vaccine Information and Resources

COVID-19 is spread the same way that the flu is spread. So this year, Special Olympics is sharing flu education materials provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help our athletes practice prevention from possible exposure to both the flu and COVID-19. Special Olympics encourages everyone to follow CDC recommendations to get a flu vaccine. Flu vaccination is especially important for people who are at high risk for getting the flu, many of whom are also at high risk for COVID-19. See below for a list of resources that we have created and shared with Special Olympics athletes, coaches, volunteers, families and others around the world.

Special Olympics Unified with Refugees in Spain - Seville 2023

Special Olympics Unified with Refugees in Spain - Seville 2023
We're proud to highlight the impact of our 'Unified with Refugees' initiative in Spain. Fundación Real Betis staged a football exhibition between Special Olympics Andalucía players and refugees from the Seville Refugee Reception Center as part of the ‘Unified with Refugees’ initiative at the Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol in Spain. In partnership with Lions Club International Foundation and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Special Olympics ‘Unified with Refugees’ platform was launched in 2016 as part of an urgent focus to address the plight of individuals with intellectual disabilities in refugee settings. This population is now facing the most difficult circumstances, not only fleeing violence, but integrating into new host communities. Their needs are urgent, acute and growing. Through the platform offered by 'Unified with Refugees', Special Olympics provides much-needed support for the integration of children and their families, and meeting their most urgent needs. #UnifiedWithRefugees #ChooseToInclude #InclusionRevolution #MoreThanFootball #MissionInclusion
