Flu Injections PDF Print E-mail

Every year thousands of people catch flu, a highly infectious virus that lasts around one week and affects the nose, throat and lungs. Flu often causes headaches, fever and joint pains in addition to sore throats and coughing.


The infection can be particularly prevalent amongst people that travel on crowded buses and trains or that work in a busy office environment. It is a highly contagious infection that is passed via coughing and sneezing. It can also be caught indirectly through hand contact with telephones and door handles etc.


Flu can have a serious detrimental effect on your business continuity. On average 150 million days are lost to flu each year in the UK. With government sauces predicting a flu epidemic and even the possibilities of a flu pandemic, a flu vaccination for your staff has never been more important.


Vaccinating your staff could prove to be far more cost effective than having to deal with staff absence. It also has the benefit of promoting the importance of health within the workforce and it sends a positive message to the staff on how you value their well being.


Our fully trained nurses carry out all the vaccinations at a time to suit you and at your own place of business.
