Influenza (the flu) is an acute viral illness, costing Australian businesses millions of dollars every year in absenteeism and sick leave. Initially affecting around 20% of staff, influenza’s highly contagious nature means it spreads rapidly. It also takes an average of two weeks to recover from, creating extreme productivity losses in the workplace. Calling a professional corporate health provider like BizHealth can help you avoid this harm to your business.

Immunisation is the single most effective action for preventing the spread of the flu in your workplace, with scientific research showing that flu vaccination reduces the risk by 70-90% in healthy people. This translates to a 43% reduction in absenteeism or 74 fewer lost days per 100 employees. Book your workplace flu vaccination today!

AIVC recommendations for the composition of influenza vaccine for Australia in 2024:

The Australian Influenza Vaccine Committee (AIVC) met to recommend the composition of the influenza virus vaccines for Australia in 2024. At this meeting, the expert committee reviewed and evaluated epidemiology, antigenic and genetic data of recent influenza isolates circulating in Australia and the southern hemisphere. Serological responses to the 2022-2023 vaccines, and the availability of candidate vaccines viruses and reagents were also reviewed by the Committee.

AIVC Recommendation

The Committee recommended that the following viruses for the 2024 southern hemisphere season trivalent influenza vaccines:

BizHealth provides workplace flu vaccinations to companies around Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide and the Gold Coast. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions concerning these vaccinations.

Workplace flu shots help to protect your employees from becoming unwell with the influenza virus and transferring it to other employees, as well as their family and friends. Ultimately, these flu shots reduce the number of sick days taken by your employees, whilst ensuring that productivity isn’t jeopardised by high absenteeism rates.

Annual onsite flu vaccinations show your employees you care about their health and well-being and make it easy for them to receive their shots. Annual vaccination is important because the virus changes over time and previous vaccinations may no longer give the required protection.

Yes, the protection provided by the flu shot weakens over time which is why it’s important to time your corporate flu vaccinations just before the flu season commences. The ideal time to commence a vaccination program is late March to June but if you’ve missed this window, even later shots help to provide sufficient protection to outlast the flu season.

It’s important to prevent the spread of the flu throughout your workforce, so if anyone has the flu they need to stay at home. When they have a normal temperature for 24 hours without taking any medication and they feel well, they can safely return to work. The problem is that the flu spreads rapidly through an unvaccinated workforce and some people can become particularly unwell with this virus. Judiciously timed workplace flu vaccinations help to reduce the incidence of flu, keeping your employees and their families healthy.

With companies struggling to find enough staff to safely operate their businesses, earning a reputation as a proactive employer can give you a competitive edge. That’s because people are increasingly seeking out employers who offer a positive culture with great working conditions. So including a health and well-being program that promotes corporate flu vaccinations is a strategy that not only increases staff morale but also optimises health and safety in the workplace.

Workplace flu shots have been shown to prevent the flu in 50% to 60% of healthy adults under the age of 65 years. So whilst a vaccination reduces your risk of catching the flu it isn’t 100% effective. So, if you do catch the flu after having a vaccination it should lower your risk of becoming seriously ill and needing to be admitted to the hospital.

The flu vaccination doesn’t provide any protection against the coronavirus but it does protect against the influenza virus. Without adequate vaccinations, you could become ill with both COVID-19 and the flu, both of which can make you seriously ill. So it’s important that you get both your flu shot and the COVID vaccinations.

No. Onsite flu vaccinations don’t include any live viruses so you can’t catch the flu from one of these shots. Some people, however, can feel unwell after getting their flu vaccination. These side effects of the flu shot are usually mild and are due to your immune system responding to the vaccine and getting ready to fight off the virus.

Since the most protection against the flu occurs in the first 3 to 4 months after receiving the vaccination, the best time for workplace flu vaccinations is late March to June. However, it’s never too late to vaccinate so always check with BizHealth if you think you’ve missed the boat.

There are many benefits of onsite flu vaccinations, one of which is making access to these flu shots easy for your employees. That’s because many people are too busy to go to their GP or just put it off and end up forgetting about it. Workplace flu shots negate these excuses, particularly when their employer is encouraging them to get vaccinated. Other benefits include reduced sick leave because fewer employees become ill with the flu. Another is increased staff morale because employees appreciate that their employer cares about their health and well-being.

We’ll provide you with a booking coordinator who will provide you with posters and flyers to advertise the service and how employees can book their onsite flu vaccinations.

Most people are protected within 2 to 3 weeks following their vaccination with this immunity lasting for 3 to 4 months. Getting vaccinated during March to June provides immunity during the peak flu season.
