Employer-Provided Immunizations

The Flu Vaccine

The seasonal flu can be spread easily from person to person, mostly through coughing and sneezing, and especially in the workplace or public places. The CDC estimates the flu costs more than 16.3 billion annually in lost earnings and recommends the flu vaccine as most effective way to protect yourself and those around you. One in five unvaccinated employees get the flu and miss an average of three to five days of work. These numbers can be significantly decreased by getting vaccinated annually for the flu.

Cascade Health offers onsite flu shot clinics as a convenient way to keep employees healthy and provide protection against the flu, while reducing the time away from the workplace. At the discretion of the employer, these clinics may also be made available to family members 10 years of age and older.
