Flu vaccination is important for workers
Vaccination is the most effective way to reduce your risk of getting the flu.
GETTING YOUR FLU VACCINATION CAN HELP:- Save sick leave – healthy adult workers who have been vaccinated against flu have half the number of doctor’s visits and take nearly half the sick days.
- Protect yourself against fevers, muscle aches and extreme tiredness – some of the most common symptoms of the flu.
- Reduce the risk of getting the flu at work and putting your family at risk – especially if you have children or parents over 65 years old.
- Help to stop the flu virus spreading.
VACCINATION HELPS TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY AGAINST FLU.
- The more Australians who get vaccinated, the fewer people there are to pass flu on to others.
- Vaccination with Australian-made vaccine supports Australia’s local vaccine manufacturing capacity.
VACCINATION IS YOUR BEST DEFENCE
