Flu Vaccinations
Have the flu vaccine and avoid being ill this winter
Make an appointment or call in to receive your flu vaccine.
Flu reappears every winter, usually over a short period of a few weeks, so that a lot of people get ill around the same time.
Although most people recover from flu within a week, for some people the infection is more serious and leads to complications. These illnesses may require treatment in hospital and can be life-threatening especially in the elderly, people with heart or chest disease and those in poor health.
Flu vaccine contains components of two types of Influenza A and one type of Influenza B viruses. Because the flu virus is continually changing, and different types circulate each winter, a new flu vaccine has to be produced each year.
The currently available influenza vaccines give 70-80% protection against infection with influenza virus strains closely matching thosein the vaccine.
Flu vaccinations in the workplace
Flu vaccinations make sense for any organisation. They are proven to reduce absence so they more than pay for themselves in an average year. In addition, as part of your disaster recovery and pandemic contingency planning, they help protect against significant disruption to your organisation and your services. Inflenza vaccination is also a popular staff benefit and provides duty of care.
