Winter is fast approaching and Wellnz through its subsidiary company, NZProvide, is now able to offer flu vaccinations to clients and their employees.
Influenza is a respiratory infection that sickens millions of people each year and can cause serious complications. Annual influenza immunisation is recommended to get optimum protection against the likely circulating strains in 2012 and these strains usually change every year. We are, however, in an unusual situation in 2012 because the virus strains covered by the vaccine are the same as in 2010 and 2011.
People should still be vaccinated this year because the immunity offered by current vaccines lessens over time. A further vaccination is, therefore, likely to offer better protection for the 2012 season, and help in reducing absenteeism in the workplace.
Seasonal influenza vaccinations are recognised as being the single most effective way of reducing the impact of seasonal influenza - especially for those most at risk of complications.
If you are interested in getting your staff vaccinated this year, or would like further information or a price quote, please contact your Wellnz case manmager or Ellen Wright, Referrals Manager. Please go to about us/press releases for the latest information...
