Benefits of a Workplace Vaccination Program
Flu hits harder than most people think. It’s highly contagious, affects all ages, and can lead to serious illness, hospitalisation — even death.
In 2025, Australia recorded more than 500,000 lab-confirmed flu cases — the highest on record and a 39% increase on 2024.
The good news? Vaccination works.
Flu vaccines have been safely protecting people since the 1940s. They reduce the risk of infection and lessen the severity if someone does get sick.
For workplaces, the benefits go beyond individual protection:
-
Reduces the spread of infection at work, at home and in the community
-
Cuts absenteeism and associated costs
-
Maintains productivity — illness can slow reaction time by 20–40%
-
Eases pressure on hospitals and GPs
-
Boosts morale and positions your organisation as an employer that prioritises health and wellbeing
Annual influenza vaccination is recommended from mid-April onwards to protect against the peak influenza season, which is typically from June to September.
