Who needs Flu Vaccinations?

Any business wanting to protect staff and maintain productivity through the winter months can benefit, particularly workplaces with larger teams, client-facing roles, or where staff absence has a significant impact on operations. Vaccination is voluntary for employees, but offering the programme demonstrates a clear commitment to workforce health.

How the programme works

We start by confirming how many employees wish to be vaccinated, then order the vaccine and agree a delivery date.

Once the vaccine is confirmed, we arrange a clinic date and carry out the vaccinations on-site, keeping the process quick and convenient for your team.

Each employee completes a short consent form before their vaccination and is informed of possible side effects. Vaccination is always voluntary and cannot be required.

We recommend booking well in advance of flu season to guarantee vaccine delivery and a clinic date that suits your business.

When Flu Vaccinations take place

  • ✓Vaccination season, late September through to December
  • ✓Flu season itself, typically January to April
  • ✓Clinic dates, arranged once vaccine delivery is confirmed
  • ✓Individual consent, completed by each employee before vaccination

What our clients say

“
We have been working with David Barber for around 10 years and have always received an excellent level of service from the whole team. From arranging occupational health assessments to nurses visiting our care homes and meeting directly with our employees, the service is always professional, responsive and supportive. We mainly use David Barber to assess employees’ fitness for work following periods of absence or changes in their health. The team are always quick to respond and provide clear, helpful advice and guidance. They are also extremely flexible, offering appointments at our care homes or, where needed, visiting employees in their own homes. We have built a trusted relationship with David Barber over the years and genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else for our occupational health support. Thank you to the whole team for your continued support and excellent service!

Frequently asked questions

What is a corporate flu vaccination programme?

A corporate flu vaccination programme is when an employer arranges for staff to receive their annual flu jab at work, usually through an on-site clinic run by an occupational health provider. It removes the need for employees to book their own appointment elsewhere.

Why should my business offer flu vaccinations?

Flu is highly contagious and spreads quickly through a workplace. Vaccinating staff helps reduce the number of people off sick during winter, protects vulnerable employees, and keeps productivity more stable through flu season.

Is flu vaccination a legal requirement for employers?

No, offering flu vaccinations is not a legal requirement. It is a voluntary benefit, but one that supports an employer's broader duty of care and can meaningfully reduce winter absence and its cost to the business.

When should we book our workplace flu clinic?

Flu vaccination season generally runs from late September to December, giving the body time to build immunity before flu season itself, which typically runs from January to April. Clinics should be booked well in advance to guarantee vaccine delivery and a suitable date.

How much does a corporate flu vaccination cost?

The cost depends on the number of employees being vaccinated and a few other factors. Get in touch for a quote tailored to your workforce.

What does a flu vaccination appointment involve?

Employees complete a short consent form beforehand, covering basic health questions. They are also informed of possible side effects before the vaccine is administered. The appointment itself is quick and carried out on-site.

Can an employee be forced to have the flu vaccine?

No. Vaccination is always voluntary. Employees cannot be required to take the flu jab if they do not wish to.

What are the side effects of the flu vaccine?

Employees are informed of possible side effects as part of the consent process before vaccination. Most reactions are mild, but a member of our clinical team can talk through anything specific with your staff.

Can I catch flu and COVID-19 at the same time?

Yes, it is possible to be infected with both at once. They are both contagious respiratory illnesses, and while it is not common to catch them together, being infected with both can lead to more serious complications.

How is the flu vaccination delivered at our workplace?

We work with you to confirm how many employees need vaccinating, order the vaccine, and arrange a clinic date once delivery is confirmed. Our team then administers the vaccinations on-site, keeping disruption to a minimum.
