Flu Shots In The Workplace Keep Employees Healthy
Every flu season, millions of people call in sick to work. More than a mere case of the sniffles, influenza can leave even healthy adults bedridden with fever and chills for up to a week – and in this economy, few people can afford to take a week off work. Sadly, in this situation many decide to tough it out and show up to work anyway – unintentionally spreading flu germs and possibly infecting coworkers. Employers know that sick employees are bad for business because their productivity is reduced, and in turn, so is the company’s profitability. That’s why many companies are offering flu shots at workplace flu clinics.
At a time when flu shots in the workplace are more important than ever, companies like VaxAmerica are making flu shots fast, affordable and convenient in the workplace.
VaxAmerica is a program of FFF Enterprises’ specialty pharmacy subsidiary, NuFACTOR. FFF Enterprises is the nation’s largest and most trusted distributor of flu vaccine.
Launched in 2008, VaxAmerica offers access, choice and cost savings for patients and their healthcare providers. VaxAmerica also offers flexible payment options that save employers time and money during the reconciliation process. The company’s online scheduler offers detailed reporting on registration statistics and trending information to assist in the planning of future clinics. Reserved vaccine shipment minimizes vaccine transport time and maximizes product efficacy and patient safety.
Helping employees stay healthy is a smart move for companies of all sizes. Providing employees with workplace flu shots can potentially reduce flu season absenteeism and halt the spread of flu. In fact, VaxAmerica’s marketing campaign encourages people to “spread the word not the flu” by getting a flu shot this flu season. Getting a flu shot in the workplace provides one less excuse for people who claim they don’t have time to get a flu shot.
