The earlier the better! We recommend vaccinating your employees between September and December.

Flu transmission peaks from late December to early March and so having your workforce vaccinated in time for the winter months is ideal.

Early vaccination ensures that there is enough stock of the vaccine and allows time for antibodies to develop before your staff come into contact with the flu virus.

Many experts, including our very own medical director Dr Richard Dawood, are predicting that this flu season could be a particularly bad one.

Social distancing measures, increased hygiene awareness, lockdowns and working from home meant that very little flu circulated amongst the general population last year. As a result, there is decreased immunity this year, making people more susceptible to the virus.

Now many people are back in the office and many of the aforementioned measures are no longer in place, workplaces are likely to be hotspots for the spread of flu.

One of the best ways to prevent flu is to have the flu vaccine, and that's why we are strongly encouraging everyone to have their flu jab.
