Additional Health Benefits Of Flu Vaccinations Discovered

Winter is almost here and it's important to consider how you will protect your workplace from an Influenza Outbreak. Employers are choosing Flu Vaccinations as a way to provide protection and reduce the risk of serious downtime in the workplace.

What better way is there to show how you care by arranging in-house Flu Vaccinations?

If you are fortunate enough that your office has never had an outbreak of Influenza, then consider yourself lucky. However, this may be the year it can happen to you. The only way to minimize the effect of Influenza in the workplace is to provide your valued employees with an Influenza Vaccine.

On top of the usual benefits of vaccination, recent studies have shown other unexpected results.

Here's how Flu Vaccinations reduce the risk of Blood Clots -

As recently reported by the telegraph in an article titled "Flu Jab could cut the risk of Blood Clot", flu vaccines have been identified as eliminating the chance of blood clot by 26 percent.

The study goes further to suggest "The effect was even stronger in people under the age of 52, scientists found, who had a 48 per cent lower risk of developing a clot, or venous thrombotic embolism (VTE)".

There is a suggestion that future benefits could recieve the vaccine for treatment of blood clots once they gain a better understanding of the link.

Additional Simple steps to prevent the Spread of the Flu -

Dr. Shikha Merchia, who practices internal medicine at Harbor Medical Associates in Braintree was quoted as saying in the Taunton Daily Gazette; "Doctors are still recommending flu vaccinations for children, the elderly, and anyone at risk of developing complications from the flu."

With the Flu Season quickly approaching in Australia and judging by the trends in America, this year will be just as vicious as previous years.

Although the Human and Health Services website recommends washing your hands, covering your cough (to prevent spreading) and staying at home if you're sick, the best measure to take is that of prevention.

Onsite vaccination boutiques offer services to schools and businesses on either an hourly or a fixed rate basis. Choosing to protect your office against becoming infected with Influenza shows your employees that their overall health and welfare matter to you.

By introducing Workplace Flu Vaccinations you are doing your part in reducing the risk of an Influenza Outbreak.
