Flu Shots for Employees Are a Smart Idea

Influenza is one of the most lethal preventable illnesses that affects employees around the country. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year more people die from the flu than all vaccine preventable diseases combined. That is why employee flu shot clinics are such an asset to the workplace.

Because the flu is a communicable disease, a sick employee can spread the flu throughout the entire company. Sick employees are bad for business because their productivity is reduced, and in turn, so is the company’s profitability. Employers know that their employees tend to come to work while they are sick, so they are gearing up for flu season by arranging for their employees to be vaccinated at work at employee flu clinics.

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. At a time when flu shots are on the forefront of everyone’s minds, VaxAmerica is blazing new trails when it comes to making flu vaccines fast, affordable and convenient, especially for companies who want to offer flu shots to employees.

Helping employees stay healthy is a smart move for companies of all sizes. Providing employees with onsite flu clinics will aid in keeping employees healthy and will reduce absenteeism, which is a problem every flu season. Employees who benefit from these readily available flu shots will be less likely to become sick and come to work anyway, a behavior that is increasingly common in this economy. Sadly, the committed employee who demonstrates their dedication by showing up at work with the flu simply spreads the contagions further. In fact, VaxAmerica’s marketing campaign encourages people to “spread the word not the flu” by getting a flu shot this flu season.

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.

By offering onsite and offsite company flu shot clinics for employees, VaxAmerica has positioned itself as corporate America’s preferred solution for the safe and convenient administration of employee flu shots. VaxAmerica also carries the new high-dose flu vaccine for seniors age 65 years and older. For more information about VaxAmerica, call (888) 444-8522 or visit www.vaxamerica.com
