Flu vaccine protects your employees from getting sick
Flu activity is likely to increase soon as people attend more holiday events and gatherings.
Physicians Quality Care OCCMed is still offering flu shots for your employees. Flu season typically peaks over the next two months.
Though the vaccine doesn’t offer complete protection, it still prevents millions of people from getting sick, lessens the amount of sick time and the severity of the flu’s effects, and prevents thousands of deaths each year. You’ll also lessen loss work time and medical costs when employees get the flu shot.
According to the University of Kentucky HeathCare, the flu shot offers individuals a solid layer of protection. You may still get the flu, but you won’t get as sick, and you’ll be less likely to end up in the hospital.
The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get this year’s flu vaccine.
We can schedule the flu shots at your convenience at your work site or at our clinics in Jackson and Milan.
