Influenza, or the "flu", is not just a nuisance illness: every year between 2,000 and 8,000 Canadians die from the disease or its complications. In the workplace, collateral damage from the flu includes absenteeism and decreased productivity. Geared to employers, information can be obtained explaining how influenza affects working individuals, how workplace vaccination clinics can help prevent the disease, and why including influenza in the workplace wellness program menu makes both medical and economic sense.
