Influenza season is approaching – vaccinate your employees
Rapidly spreading influenza can cause long periods of sick leave among working-age people. The best protection against influenza is a vaccine. Influenza vaccination prevents the disease in approximately 50-80 % of cases and shortens the duration of the disease. By including influenza vaccination in your occupational health contract, you ensure that your staff can get vaccinated against influenza every year if they wish.
