Don’t let the flu get to you: protect your employees
Each winter, the flu virus re-emerges and spreads. This viral infection causes annual worker absenteeism to peak. But just one shot can protect your employees from the flu.
Why vaccinate?
- Every year, 5 to 15% of employees in Belgium have to deal with the flu for an average of 3 to 6 days a week. A vaccine reduces the risk of flu by 80%.
- Those who still get the flu after receiving the vaccination will recover more quickly and have a reduced risk of complications.

1. Practical details
The flu vaccination period is from 15 October to 14 December. Each flu vaccine costs € 17.50, including administration of the vaccine. These vaccines are tetravalent, which means that, due to their composition, they provide even more protection than the classic trivalent vaccines. Orders for flu vaccines can be placed between 3 June and 15 October 2019, while supplies last. Eligible clients can use their prevention units towards the purchase of flu vaccines.
To ensure a smooth vaccination process, we ask that you complete a new order form for each location. After the order has been processed, we will contact you to arrange a suitable date and time for the administration of the vaccine.

3. Billing
Billing is based on the number of vaccines ordered. If some employees are unable to attend the scheduled vaccination process, then it is important to agree prior to the vaccination date whether any remaining flu vaccines will be left at your premises or returned to the medical practitioner? The number of vaccines billed will remain the same either way.
