Flu Shots - Immunization - Prescriptions

Onsite vaccination programs for improved compliance and better health, plus the documented savings of generic prescriptions

OnSite Health offers vaccination programs as part of our customized workplace healthcare services. Offering these vaccinations onsite improves compliance—while eliminating the time required to keep an off-site appointment—and this simple convenience can help protect your employees against serious diseases, viruses or infections.

We offer the following vaccination programs:

• Hepatitis B
• Tetanus
• PPD
• Influenza

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), influenza, or the flu, causes illness, hospitalization and an average of 25,000 deaths each year in the U.S. They also note that the flu costs American businesses approximately $10.4 billion annually in direct costs for outpatient services and hospitalization.

Once your employees are infected by a flu virus, they spread it by coughing, sneezing or touching surfaces or objects. They can also spread it by talking (it’s contagious up to approximately six feet).

OnSite Health flu shots protect against the three viruses that research suggests are most likely to spread. The 2010-2011 flu vaccines will protect against an influenza A H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus (the H1N1 virus caused a global pandemic).

Prescribing generic drugs instead of the branded drugs that cost almost ten times more

OnSite Health nurse practitioners recommend generic drugs where appropriate, for documented effectiveness and substantial cost savings (the average cost of generics is $9.74 versus an average of $90.39 for branded prescriptions).
