- Lili Estefan
“La Flaca” and Mother of 2
- Lili Estefan, widely known among Latino audiences as “La Flaca,” knows firsthand how serious influenza can be, and that it is something she never wants to experience again. Lili, the popular host of Univision’s show El Gordo y La Flaca, recalls how an experience with influenza kept her off the show, leaving “El Gordo” without his regular side kick.
“In the past, I didn’t worry about getting influenza,” said Lili. “I knew about the flu shot, but just didn’t think I would ever need it – that is, until I was hit hard by the virus. It made me realize that my family was not protected. Mothers like me often decide what’s best for their families, and now that I know how serious the flu can be, I make sure my entire family gets vaccinated.”
Lili has joined the Faces of Influenza campaign to stress the importance of annual influenza vaccination for everyone 6 months of age and older.1
“It’s so simple to avoid getting the flu – just think healthy and make vaccination an activity for the whole family.”
