Flu Vaccinations

The changing nature of the influenza virus means strains will change from year to year and vaccinations are developed annually to deliver the best chance of resistance.

There are a number of advantages to offering this service:

• Reduction in flu absences over the winter period. The cost of the vaccine delivery is definitely cheaper than the cost of lost days for your staff due to flu. The average absence for flu can extend to around 7-10 days for full flu and 3-7 days for flu like symptoms.
• Staff well-being and offering a proactive health service. Staff feel invested in for their health and cared for.
• By reducing absenteeism and presentism if an employee is feeling unwell, productivity is raised.
• Offering the service adds proactive services that can attract employees to your organisation.

OPA Health nurses can deliver these vaccinations on site allowing your employees to fit their vaccination around their working day. Clinic times can be organised according to the needs of your business.

Flu vaccination vouchers are also available from OPA Health. These can be given to employees so they can access the flu vaccination at specified outlets, if holding a flu clinic is not convenient for an organisation, or for employees who are unable to attend the on-site clinic.
