Flu Shots
Research suggests that workers who receive the flu shot have lower absenteeism rates and lower medical costs associated with flu-like illness1.
If you’d like to implement a flu shot clinic at your worksite, the HAP Health Promotion team can help you coordinate it. Flu shots are offered at the worksite from November through January and most* HAP members are eligible to receive a flu shot at no charge. Contact your HAP Account Executive to determine eligibility and to request flu shots at your site. For further information, review our worksite flu clinic procedure.
Flu shots are also available at the HAP member’s Primary Care Physician office and at a variety of community sites. To schedule a flu shot with the HAP member’s PCP, they should contact their PCP office directly.
For more information on preventing the flu, including posters and brochures to distribute at your worksite, please utilize the below resources:
*All HAP Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Alliance Health and Life (AHL) members are eligible to receive flu shots from an approved flu shot vendor at no charge.
