Employee Immunisation Programme

An Employee Immunisation Programme can provide a proactive and convenient approach to reducing sick leave and subsequent loss of productivity due to vaccine preventable illnesses by delivering on-site vaccinations. 

Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting people before they come into contact with potentially harmful diseases.  Immunisation protects individuals, others in the workplace and the community by reducing the spread of disease. 

Illnesses may be seasonal as in the case of influenza (flu), or community outbreaks for which persons should obtain a booster if not having received one since completing their childhood vaccinations  (eg. whooping cough). 

All vaccines are administered by occupational health nurses. 

Vaccinations available can include influenza, Hepatitis A & B, Whooping Cough and Chicken Pox.  Further details of specific vaccinations available and immunization programme timing can be obtained upon request.
