TIP OF THE WEEK

 

Did you know...?

Arrange for your flu shots today and take the BITE out of the FLU BUG for you and your employees!!

OHS-COMPCARE will assist you in reducing employee absenteeism during the upcoming flu season by providing flu vaccination programs scheduled for your convenience either at your workplace or in our clinical facilities. The CDC has asked that providers delay vaccinating the general population until after October 24th.

Flu Facts:

Every year in the United States, on average:

5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and; about 36,000 people die from flu. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications:

Ø      Influenza is a miserable affair and very contagious.

Ø      A new flu vaccine is given every year because the flu virus changes year to year.

Ø      It’s impossible to get the flu from the vaccine because it contains an inactive or “dead”

      virus.

Ø      The flu shot prevents 70% to 90% of influenza cases.

Ø      Offering the vaccine through the workplace is an effective method to keep your

      employees productive and on the job.

Ø      For high-risk employees, complications from the flu can be deadly.

 

In addition to the vaccine you can help your employees protect themselves from the cold and flu season by promoting:   

ü      Good hand washing

ü      Covering the mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing.

ü      Improve one’s natural resistance to viruses through a healthy diet, adequate rest and regular exercise.
