About Our Influenza Vaccine
The flu vaccine helps protect against the influenza viruses expected to circulate during the current flu season. Because the virus changes over time, a new vaccine is developed each year to provide the best possible protection.
Health Street makes it easy for employers to schedule flu vaccinations at convenient locations nationwide. Whether you need to vaccinate a single employee or an entire workforce, our network provides a simple registration process and secure online reporting.
Why Flu Vaccination Is Important
Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that can spread rapidly in workplaces where employees interact with coworkers, customers, patients, or the public. Even healthy adults can become ill and miss several days of work.
Annual flu vaccination helps reduce the risk of infection and may lessen the severity of illness if infection occurs. Many employers include the flu vaccine as part of seasonal wellness initiatives or occupational health programs to help maintain a healthier workforce.
Who Should Receive the Flu Vaccine
The influenza vaccine is recommended each year for most individuals 6 months of age and older, unless a healthcare provider advises otherwise.
Employers commonly offer flu vaccines to employees in industries such as:
Organizations with frequent public interaction or close working conditions often include annual flu vaccination as part of their employee health program.
How Does the Flu Shot Work?
The flu shot vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to recognize and fight influenza viruses before they cause illness. Unlike influenza infection, the vaccine prepares the immune system without causing the flu.
Because circulating influenza strains change each year, annual vaccination is recommended to maintain protection.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Scheduling is simple. After registration, employees visit one of Health Street's nationwide occupational health clinics.
A qualified healthcare professional administers the vaccine according to current clinical guidelines. Most appointments take only a few minutes, allowing employees to return to work quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a flu shot vaccine and an influenza vaccine?
There is no difference. The terms flu shot vaccine, flu vaccine, and influenza vaccine all refer to the seasonal vaccine that helps protect against influenza.
How often should I receive a flu vaccination?
The CDC recommends annual flu vaccination because influenza viruses change from season to season and vaccine formulations are updated each year.
Can employers schedule flu vaccines for multiple employees?
Yes. Health Street can coordinate flu vaccines for individual employees, departments, or entire organizations through our nationwide network.
Does the flu vaccine prevent every case of influenza?
No vaccine provides 100% protection. However, the influenza vaccine significantly reduces the risk of illness and may reduce the severity of symptoms if infection occurs.
What is a Flu A vaccine?
People often search for a Flu A vaccine, but seasonal influenza vaccines are designed to protect against multiple influenza strains, including Influenza A viruses expected to circulate each season.
Can the flu vaccine be combined with other occupational health services?
Yes. Employers frequently combine flu vaccination with physicals, TB testing, respirator medical evaluations, hearing tests, vision exams, drug testing, and other occupational health services.
What Is the Difference Between Influenza and Flu A?
Influenza viruses are grouped into several types, with Influenza A and Influenza B causing most seasonal illness in humans.
Some people search for a Flu A vaccine, but there is not a separate vaccine designed only for Influenza A. Instead, today's seasonal influenza vaccine protects against multiple influenza strains, including selected Influenza A and Influenza B viruses expected to circulate during the current season.
