Now is the best time to prepare for a healthy flu season

Flu prevention is important for the health of your client’s employees and business. Keeping them informed provides proactive support that protects their health and lowers costs. Making flu shots available to employees with no out-of-pocket cost proactively provides them with simpler access to care. It’s a more affordable way to bridge gaps in care. The CDC estimates 17 million workdays are lost each year due to flu at a cost of $7 billion in sick days and lost productivity.

Employee absences due to illness increase during flu season. Each infected employee might miss up to six days of work and need up to two weeks to make a full recovery. They may also need time off to care for an ill family member.

Preventive care supports the total health of your clients’ employees. Because vaccination is one of the best ways to prevent the flu, we cover flu shots at 100% with no out-of-pocket costs. And we offer employees a real-time connection to information they need to find a flu vaccination location near them with our find a shot tool. Making it easier than ever for them to find the right care when they need it.

Help your clients reduce their risk and support their employees’ health by sharing these resources and reminding them that now is the right time to get a flu shot, before flu season arrives.
