FLU SEASON 2024-2025

As confirmed by the NHS, the best way to reduce the risk of catching flu is through vaccination. Analysis found that getting vaccinated cuts the risk of being hospitalised by flu by a quarter in adults aged 65 years and older, a third in other adults and reduces the risk two-thirds in children. This is on top of the collective protection we all get from the vaccines reducing flu transmission. It’s a quick, easy and cost-effective alternative that shows your employees you care. Having the vaccine also helps relieve pressure on the NHS, which continues to operate under significant strain.

Flu vaccination helps prevent up to 626,000 cases of flu every year in England alone, while staff absences are costly and put pressure on workers left to pick up the slack. Employees with flu are likely to be contagious a day before symptoms develop, and often take up to two weeks off work, costing businesses millions in lost revenue every year.

WHO FLU STRAINS 2024-2025

WHO have released the flu strains for 2024 -2025 and they are:

• a B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage)-like virus.

PROTECTION ALL WINTER

According to the Department of Health, Seasonal flu vaccination remains a critically important public health intervention and a key priority for 2024 to 2025 to reduce morbidity, mortality and hospitalisation associated with flu at a time when the NHS and social care will be managing winter pressures.

Autumn vaccination will help cover employees over the flu season, which can run through to February.
