Employee Flu Shot Programs

A new vaccine is developed each year, specific to the three virus strands identified by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as most prevalent. These strands will account for 70-90% of influenza that year.

Since the strands of the virus change yearly, you must be vaccinated every year.

Worried About Side Effects?

The vaccine is created from an inactive form of the virus; you cannot get the flu from a flu shot!!! Common side effects include soreness, swelling, redness at the injection site, low-grade fever, and aches.

Severe reactions are extremely rare. Flu shots are one of the safest, most effective vaccines.
