Vaccination Program
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average of 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu each year. That means that up to 20% of your workforce could be out during flu season. Considering the loss in productivity for an employee infected with the flu, the flu vaccine becomes a valuable tool in enhancing your company's bottom line.
It's a Fact
Absenteeism related to the flu can last from 2 to 7 days, with cough and fatigue lasting several weeks and slowing a full return to work. Many employees won't take time to arrange their own flu shot, so providing on-site vaccinations is key to keeping a healthy workforce.
On-site Corporate Flu Shot Program
Wellness and Corporate Health Services can conveniently provide influenza vaccinations to your employees directly at your worksite.
Testimonial
“As a benefit to Members Credit Union employees and their families, we wanted to make influenza vaccinations available. It was imperative that we found a provider that could work around our busy schedules. Wellness and Corporate Health Services met that need head-on, showing up on site to provide the vaccinations. We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to offer this potentially life-saving procedure to our credit union – sick days are down, morale is up, and we could not be happier!” – Bob Donley, Executive Vice President, Members Credit Union

Flu Prevention Tips
Practice these tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help you stay healthy this flu season.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and then throw the tissue away after you use it.
Wash your hands often with soap and water to protect you from germs and to avoid spreading germs if you are sick. If soap and water are unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
When possible, avoid people who are sick.
If you get the flu, stay home from work or school. This helps prevent the spread of illness to others.
Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs often spread this way.
Practice good health habits. Get plenty of sleep and exercise, drink lots of fluids, eat well and manage stress.
