Flu
Immunizations for Businesses
Corporations
lose millions each year because
their employees become ill.
Absence due to sickness causes
lost time and slowed productivity.
Most importantly, ill employees
suffer pain, discomfort, even lost
wages--sometimes needlessly.
Influenza,
one of the most common seasonal
illnesses, is easily prevented
with a vaccination. The vaccine is
very effective, but needs to be
repeated annually. Make it a
policy to have your employees
vaccinated every year. The
benefits to your employees and
your company can be measured in
performance.
Our
specially trained nurses will come
to you, so there's no need to send
employees to inconvenient
hospitals or clinics. And our
superior standard of service
ensures that your personnel will
be well-cared for. Call Passport
Health for your corporate flu
immunizations today, before the
season starts.
Passport
Health has confirmed our order of
Flu Vaccine for the 2006-2007
Season. We are currently
scheduling clients who want to
pre-book at this time. We were
able to supply all of our clients
with flu vaccine last year and
don't anticipate difficulty for
this coming season.
Contact
us today to pre-book a flu clinic
for your company!
What's the
difference between and cold and
the flu?
Both the flu and a cold are
viral infections and can cause
symptoms such as coughing and
sore throat. A cold is a minor
viral infection of the nose and
throat. The flu, however, is
usually more severe, with higher
fevers and the addition of aches
and pains.
