Each year businesses lose 1.5 million workdays to influenza, costing businesses over $500 million*. This year’s flu season is predicted to be worse as vaccination rates have fallen.
“Protecting your workforce from influenza will mean healthier, happier and more productive teams” said Natalie Willis, National Councillor and Head of Clinical Governance, Pharmacy Guild of Australia. “This year’s flu season is expected to be particularly challenging and Guild Corporate Health will make it easier for employees to get the vaccine, and easier for employers to manage.”
Protecting staff from influenza can be easily managed through Guild Corporate Health’s vaccination programme. Guild Corporate Health partners with community pharmacies across Australia to make it easy and convenient for employees to book their vaccine at a place and time that suits them.
“The University of Adelaide engaged Pharmacy Guild to offer our employees an in-pharmacy flu vaccination” said Rachel Wood, former University of Adelaide Workplace Wellbeing Specialist has used Guild Corporate Health. “With a selection of over 1200 pharmacies, this initiative complemented our on-campus efforts in catering to our hybrid workforce. Through an online booking platform and a unique University code, staff could conveniently check locations, availability and make a booking with ease. I strongly endorse this service for any workplace and working with the Pharmacy Guild team was a great experience.”
There is no need for pre-purchased vouchers and no minimum number requirements. Guild Corporate Health provides invoices and reports to employers.
Community pharmacies are located across Australia and many are open on weekends and later into the evening, making it easier to get vaccinated. Community pharmacists are one of Australia’s most trusted health professionals.
