Workplace Flu Shot Clinic

Organizing a workplace flu shot clinic can offer several benefits:

1. Convenient: Employees can get vaccinated without having to schedule a separate appointment or visit a clinic, saving time and effort.
2. Improve Productivity: Vaccinated employees are less likely to get the flu, reducing absenteeism and maintaining productivity during flu season.
3. Cost Savings: Fewer sick days and reduced healthcare costs for both employees and the employer, as flu-related illnesses can be expensive in terms of lost productivity and medical expenses.
4. Boost Employee Morale: Demonstrates that the employer cares about the health and well-being of their employees, potentially boosting morale and loyalty.
5. Increase Vaccination Rates: Accessibility encourages higher participation rates among employees who might not otherwise prioritize getting a flu shot.
6. Public Health Benefit: By reducing the spread of flu within the workplace, the clinic contributes to community health efforts, especially for employees who interact with the public.

Overall, a workplace flu shot clinic promotes a healthier, more productive environment while fostering a sense of well-being among employees.

How to set up a workplace flu shot clinic

Setting up a flu shot clinic at your office is fairly simple.

1. Firstly, send an email out to your staff to see how many people are interested. If you have a common staff area, you may also consider posting a sign-up sheet.
2. Contact your preferred vendor (like Direct Health Solutions) to reserve a date and time for your clinic. A nurse will be reserved for your clinic based on the number of participants. It is safe to expect an hour per 10 participants.
3. Send a reminder email to your staff 1-2 days before your scheduled clinic. Remind them to wear a top that provides easy access to the deltoid muscle (upper arm/outer shoulder).
4. On the day of the clinic, you should prepare a quiet and private area with one table and two chairs for the nurse to administer the shots.
