According to Health Canada, 10 to 25% of Canadians may get the flu each year. Although most of these people recover completely, an estimated 4,000 to 8,000 Canadians, mostly seniors, die every year from pneumonia related to flu and many others may die from other serious complications of flu.
Influenza is a common respiratory illness affecting millions of Canadians each year and many employers recognize that this is a significant cause of lost work time. Influenza has a propensity to spread rapidly in closed working environments, leaving several employees off sick at the same time and the remainder struggling to cope with the increased workload. The best way to prevent influenza and limit its spread within the workplace is to offer the opportunity for employees to get a flu shot. The most convenient and cost-effective place to immunize employees is at the worksite.
ParaMed's On Site Flu Shot Program can help organizations maximize employee health protection through the flu season and minimize employee absenteeism. Flu clinics are conducted by our specially trained registered nurses and can be held in the workplace, in public settings or any location convenient to your company and its employees.
