Flu shots protect employees — and your bottom line
As you consider whether to schedule employee flu vaccinations at your worksite, consider the costs if you don’t make it easy and convenient for employees to get the vaccine.
An annual flu vaccine is recommended for all people six months and older, with some exceptions. And people with underlying health conditions are at a higher risk of getting the flu and having serious complications.
The benefits of workplace vaccination
For Employers:
- Reduces costs by decreasing time missed from work to get vaccinated.
- Reduces costs by reducing absences due to illness, resulting in improved productivity.
- Vaccination often already covered under employee health plans.
For Employees:
- Reduces absences due to sickness & doctor visits.
- Improves health and morale.
- Employees are more likely to get the vaccine because it’s convenient.
