Since the flu may affect people at any time of year, it is important for
employers to help their workers find affordable vaccinations. Communities often host their own vaccination events, which are usually held in various locations.

Employers who have the resources to offer on-site flu vaccination clinics
may find this option agreeable. It makes access to vaccines both easy and affordable.
This is an easy step to take for employers with existing on-site health
clinics. However, workplaces without clinics may still host vaccination events. Employers can hire a pharmacy to conduct an on-site event, which can be set up in a quiet area with privacy.

Employers opting for low-cost vaccinations offered by a local pharmacy of choice should take these steps:
Select a pharmacy to offer flu vaccinations for employees. Make sure employees have enough time to visit the pharmacy and receive a vaccination. Send letters, flyers or other types of communication to employees about vaccinations. Place posters advertising the vaccinations in common areas of the workplace. Extend vaccination discounts to family members of employees.

Employers choosing to offer on-site vaccination events should take these steps:
Highlight the importance of vaccinations to employees. Set a goal for workplace vaccinations. Designate a coordinator who has specific and important roles in the event. Evaluate the need for outside contracting. Ask employees for their input and opinions about vaccinations. Make sure the event is scheduled for the easiest times for employees to participate. Evaluate the demand versus the need for employee flu vaccinations. Businesses with multiple branches should try to offer vaccinations at each branch. Ensure managers allow employees to participate in vaccination clinics. Think about offering discounts or free vaccinations to employees' family members.

Employers choosing to offer on-site vaccination events should take these steps:
Stress the importance of employee participation before the event. Offer incentives for participating such as rewards, refreshments or other benefits. Advertise the event with posters in common areas. Ensure the clinic location is private, quiet and comfortable. Ask managers and supervisors to be vaccinated first to set a good example.

Whether you offer vaccinations free of charge or for a fee, from an onsite
clinic or through an offsite vendor, to employees only or employee families as well, the benefits to your business can be enormous.
The important thing is, don't wait too long. Your workplace well-being
and your productivity are at stake.
