What is a Flu Jab/Vaccine?
The flu, short for influenza, is a highly contagious respiratory illness that can cause serious, albeit short term, disruption to staffing levels within the workplace. A flu jab, also known as a flu vaccine, is a safe and effective injection that protects individuals from developing flu symptoms. The flu vaccine is re-formulated annually to target the most prevalent strains of the influenza virus circulating during that flu season. Here at Sigma Health, our team of qualified GMC registered doctors can administer the flu vaccine to your entire workforce, keeping them healthy and productive throughout the year.
Our Commitment to Excellence
How is a Flu Jab/Vaccine Delivered in the Workplace?
At Sigma Health, we understand the importance of minimising disruption to your business operations. That’s why we offer a streamlined flu vaccination program designed for the workplace. Here’s what you can expect:
On-site Vaccinations: Our team of qualified GMC registered doctors will travel to your workplace to administer the flu vaccine to your entire workforce. This eliminates the need for employees to travel to a clinic, saving them valuable time and minimising disruption to their work schedules.
Efficient Administration: The flu jab is a quick and simple procedure. Our GMC registered doctors use fine needles to minimise discomfort and can efficiently administer the vaccine to many employees over a short period of time.
Pre-vaccination Screening: Prior to administering the vaccination, our doctors will conduct a brief health screening for each employee to ensure the flu vaccine is suitable for them. This helps to minimise the risk of any potential adverse reactions.
Post-vaccination Education: We provide educational materials, answer any questions your employees may have about the flu vaccine and re-iterate potential side effects. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as soreness at the injection site, a low-grade fever or fatigue. By discussing these normal side effects employees can be reassured, which consequently will minimise disruption to their work.
In addition to flu vaccinations, Sigma Health offers a variety of other services to help keep your workplace healthy and compliant. For example, biological monitoring ensures that employees exposed to hazardous substances receive regular health checks, and skin assessments can help identify potential risks for conditions like dermatitis, which can be particularly important for those in physically demanding roles.

Why is a Flu Vaccination Program Important In The Workplace?
The flu can cause major disruption, particularly during the winter months, in any business. A flu outbreak can lead to a significant increase in absenteeism, with employees calling in sick due to fever, chills, fatigue, and other chest symptoms. This can cause disruption in workflow, result in missed deadlines, and decrease overall productivity. The influenza virus can spread rapidly in close working environments, leading to potential business closures if a large proportion of the workforce falls ill. Arranging flu vaccinations for all of your employees is one of the most effective ways to protect your business from such disruption.
Epidemiologic data illustrates the importance of facilitating a high vaccination rate within the workplace, to significantly reduce the spread of the flu virus. The result is a healthier, happier and more productive work environment for all. An effective flu vaccination program is valuable to all workplaces, however the following are examples of those with the most significant benefit:
- Factories and manufacturing plants: Maintaining a healthy workforce is crucial for keeping production lines running smoothly. A flu outbreak can cause significant delays and lost productivity. Fit to work assessments can help identify individuals at higher risk, ensuring your team stays healthy and productive.
- Offices: With close working quarters and frequent interaction, offices can be breeding grounds for the influenza virus. Vaccination can significantly reduce transmission within your teams. Management referral services can identify specific workplace health needs and ensure employees are fit to work, minimising the spread of illness.
- Construction sites: The physical demands of construction sites like HS2, can be compounded by an influenza infection. Protecting workers with a flu jab helps to keep projects on schedule and reduces the risk of accidents due to illness. Our Safety Critical Medical services can help ensure workplace health compliance, promoting a safer environment.
- Hospitality settings: Hotels, restaurants and other customer-facing businesses rely on healthy employees to provide excellent service. A flu outbreak can lead to staffing shortages and negatively impact customer experience. Fit to work assessments in hospitality ensure your staff can perform at their best, reducing the likelihood of flu-related disruptions.
