Have you ever seen an ad on TV and thought "that was really catchy". Well if you have, then the company who made the ad did a really good job.

I am sure it is a hard job convincing millions of people.

Millions of people get the flu every year. That is why the Center for Disease Control has worked so hard to make ads and fundraisers to promote the flu shot.
