Q: Will the flu vaccination service disrupt my business operations?

No. We are very careful to ensure that your everyday work patterns and operations are not disrupted by our vaccination programme. We work carefully with you to agree a schedule for how people are called from their jobs and positions to undertake the vaccine service, and while we encourage employees to ask questions and understand the virus, the vaccine and its benefits, we aim to minimise disruption by getting employees back to their duties in a timely fashion so that normal operations can continue. Throughout the day we can maintain continual contact and communications with you to ensure this happens, and we are also flexible to accommodate changes as we understand that unforeseen events do occur.

Q: Is the flu vaccination the same every year?

No. The flu virus mutates all the time and new strains are detected. Experts are able to monitor and predict this and are able to develop vaccines to combat each new strain. Because the strains of the virus change each year, it is very important to get the flu vaccination each year. When you book for a flu vaccination with FluClinic2You we offer what is called a quadrivalent flu vaccine. This is a vaccine formulated to tackle four different strains of the virus, and this formulation is changed every year to combat the latest strains, so if you have an annual flu vaccination you are always protected from the latest strains of the virus that are active.

Q: When is the best time to get vaccinated?

The flu season begins in September and can go on until March . Flu vaccinations are available from September each year. It is recommended to get vaccinated as early as possible, normally between September and November would be the best time to have your vaccination done. This is so that your workforce is fully protected before the virus is at the height of its transmission phase each year.
