WHY VACCINATE?
By vaccinating against flu and Covid, you will reduce absenteeism. It has long been known that flu (influenza) and Covid can significantly increase work absenteeism, increasing costs and putting extra burden on non-affected staff. This has also been shown to reduce morale. Many organisations recognise this and offer their staff a flu and Covid vaccination as part of their occupational health provision.
The Office of Health Economics has published a report looking at the costs to the Employer due to respiratory infections (flu & Covid). Below is a summary of the days of absenteeism and presenteeism.
