What Is the Flu, and Why Is It a Concern?
Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It spreads easily through coughs, sneezes, and contact with contaminated surfaces. While the flu can be mild for some, it can lead to severe complications, particularly for vulnerable individuals such as those with chronic illnesses or weakened immune systems.
The Benefits of Flu Vaccinations for Your Business

A vaccinated workforce is a healthier workforce. Flu vaccines reduce the risk of illness, helping to keep your team on their feet during the winter months. - Reduces Sickness Absence and Associated Costs
Employees out sick due to the flu can lead to significant disruptions and costs for your business. Flu vaccinations help minimise these absences, ensuring smoother operations. - Promotes Productivity and Morale
Healthy employees are more engaged and productive. Providing flu vaccines shows your team that their well-being is a priority, boosting morale and fostering loyalty.
