Get Your Flu Vaccine and Protect Your Health
As winter approaches, it’s important you protect yourself from flu. We’re encouraging all colleagues to get the flu vaccine during April and May, so you have the best protection possible ahead of the coldest months of the year.
The vaccine decreases the risk of severe flu illness and is particularly recommended for people at risk of health complications. This includes pregnant or immunocompromised individuals, people with co-morbidities, and the elderly. While the vaccine does not guarantee immunity from the flu, it can stop you from getting seriously ill.
Getting the flu vaccination is free for all employees and contractors. For those with Vitality membership, the vaccine can be logged for Vitality points.
It’s safe to have the flu vaccine before, at the same time as, or after the Covid-19 vaccine.
