Influenza season is approaching – protect yourself and others by getting vaccinated

Influenza season happens every year even though its timing may vary. Compared to a regular cold, influenza is a rougher illness which may cause severe complications or lead to unfortunate secondary diseases. At worst, influenza and its complications may also lead to long absences. Influenza is often passed on to other people before you even have any symptoms. When everyone at the workplace is vaccinated, you can avoid all of this while helping everyone close to us stay healthy.

Book influenza vaccinations for occupational health customers conveniently online

• Appointments for influenza vaccinations at Pihlajalinna medical centres can be booked online if the employer has purchased influenza vaccinations for its employees. Online booking for influenza vaccinations is available even if the employer does not otherwise use online appointment booking.

• Appointments can also be booked by calling the service number agreed with your company.

Influenza vaccinations also available directly at the workplace

Influenza vaccinations can also be arranged at your company's premises by separate agreement. Providing vaccinations at the workplace makes getting vaccinated easy and convenient and saves time, as employees can receive the vaccination during the working day. We offer walk-in vaccination days if there are a total of ten or more people to be vaccinated. You can arrange a joint vaccination day with your company's designated occupational health nurse or key account manager.

Why your organisation should offer influenza vaccines to every employee?

• A concrete way to support work ability and wellbeing in the workplace community.

• Fewer sickness absences due to influenza.

• Prevention – reduces the risk of influenza and its complications.
