What is a flu vaccine?
A flu vaccine is designed to protect against the influenza virus. The vaccine composition is renewed every year based on the proposed circulating strains recommended by the World Health Organization.
In specific, the quadrivalent influenza vaccine commonly available in Hong Kong includes two Influenza A virus strains and two Influenza B virus strains following the WHO’s recommendations.
The Centre for Health Protection recommends everyone aged above 6 months receive the seasonal flu vaccine to protect themselves against infection.
When should I offer my employees a flu shot?
It takes about two weeks for immunity to develop in the body, so it’s best if you arrange your corporate flu vaccination program at least two weeks before the winter influenza season starts in January.
Why should I offer flu vaccines to my employees?
In case you’re wondering, here’s why you should consider introducing a flu vaccination program.
Protect your employees
Influenza can cause coughing, sneezing, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, and in the worst case, severe complications or even death. The WHO estimates that respiratory diseases caused by seasonal influenza result in between 290,000 and 650,000 deaths each year. A flu shot is the most effective way to prevent flu infection.
Reduce absenteeism and boost productivity
An employee with a typical case of flu may need to take approximately 2 to 3 days off from work and their productivity may be affected for up to a week after returning to work. By preventing the spread of flu in the workplace, you are saving the cost of employee absence and maximizing productivity.
Improve employee engagement
A flu vaccination program adds value to your employee health benefits package. It is a simple yet effective way to show that you care about your employees. When a company invests in the health and well-being of its employees, it's more likely that people will stick around for the long haul.
