Flu Shot Immunizations Now Available Through IBT
Every year, businesses lose millions of productive worker hours and billions of dollars because of influenza. Severe flu outbreaks are largely preventable by offering a single, low-cost vaccination to employees.

In collaboration with Superior Health Staffing, Inc. (SHSI), IBT Wellness offers easy-to-administer flu vaccines to employers through a risk-free, cost-effective program. Flu shots are conveniently delivered onsite and protect against three types and strains of influenza viruses.

Five percent to twenty percent of the US population gets the flu each year. Over 200,000 people are hospitalized annually from flu complications in the US. The flu can spread to others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five days after becoming sick.

Why Offer Flu Shots to Employees?
Vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza. Flu vaccine prevents up to 90 percent of likely cases. Even if it does not fully prevent the influenza virus, a flu shot greatly moderates the effects of the illness.

By providing flu shots from IBT Wellness Services, you protect your investment in your workforce. Preventing flu outbreaks greatly limits exposure to costly productivity losses. The flu is highly contagious – with immunized workers, the likelihood of employees getting sick and missing work greatly decreases.

Why Use IBT Wellness for Flu Shots?
IBT and SHSI have experience in the industrial workplace and understand this unique environment. We provide immunization services as well as worker training about how to prevent the spread of the flu and other diseases in the workplace.

With a strong background in industrial safety and hygiene, our wellness programs can alleviate workplace health risks through various audits, evaluations, compliance recommendations and other wellness services.

Availability
Flu vaccines are engineered through the Center for Disease Control (CDC) of the US Department of Health and Human Services. Flu shot season starts in September, when the flu virus vaccine is made available to the medical community.

In past years the vaccine supply has been limited, but with IBT Wellness Services, flu vaccines are easily accessible. To learn more about IBT Wellness Services and flu immunizations at your job sites, contact IBT Safety.
