With only 8 days left to get your free flu vaccine, if you have yet to get your flu vaccine for this year it is time to take action. Western Health’s free immunisation program finishes 30th June.
After this date flu vaccines will not be available at Western Health. Non-vaccinated staff will be responsible for getting the vaccine via their General Practitioner or local Pharmacy at their own expense. A reminder that the flu vaccination is legally mandated for all Category A and B staff.
Managers are requested to please follow up with their individual staff on their cost centres to ensure non-vaccinated staff meet their mandatory requirements using the MAP report. Please ensure staff are aware of their obligations and follow up accordingly.
For more information, please visit the Influenza Prevention Program intranet site.
