Flu vaccination is important for employers
It’s a sensible idea to offer flu vaccinations for your whole staff. - Up to one in five Australians a year may get the flu.
- Flu spreads easily in workplaces.
- Most people spread the virus before they feel ill themselves.
- Vaccination can help prevent the spread of flu from staff who may catch the virus from their children and pass it on at work.
- Influenza can reduce the safety and efficiency of workers. Reaction times can be reduced by 20-40% (comparable to the deterioration seen with alcohol consumption).
- A workplace vaccination program is a way to show positive interest in your company’s and your community’s wellbeing.
- The benefits of vaccinating against flu last well beyond work – protecting employees at home, at sports and right through the winter until next year.
VACCINATION IS YOUR BEST DEFENCE
