Flu shot season is here
Physicians Quality Care OCCMed will begin employee flu shots for area companies and organizations in September.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people get the flu vaccine in September and October so they are protected as flu season begins.
It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to be effective.
Employers who offer flu shots to employees will have fewer employees sick this winter, fewer sick days, and lower medical costs.
Having the flu vaccine available at your worksite also has benefits: More employees are likely to get the flu shot because it will be convenient to do so. It also reduces costs by decreasing time missed from work to get vaccinated.
We’ll schedule your flu shots at your convenience. Contact OCCMed Director Jennifer Carmack at 731-984-8400 or jennifer@occmedjackson.com.
