Flu season—the time of year when respiratory viruses spread easily—is approaching. There are many good reasons why your groups should urge employees to get annual flu vaccinations and keep up with COVID-19 boosters.
Vaccinations help protect employees, their families and their communities from severe illness and death. They can also help a business' bottom line. Each year, flu alone costs businesses an estimated $7 billion to $17 billion in lost productivity and an estimated 111 million lost workdays (flu.gov).
Our updated flyers share the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations about flu vaccinations and COVID-19 boosters. In addition, they guide members to information about other CDC-recommended vaccinations covered on their health plan at no out-of-pocket cost when received from an in-network provider.
Please share the flyers with your employers and urge them to distribute them to their employees.
For groups interested in hosting a vaccination clinic for their employees, please see the employer vaccination clinic flyer below. Clinics are subject to minimum participation requirements. Not all providers offer the same selection of vaccines. See this flyer for details.
