Flu vaccination blitz at community sites this week

To help all our employees to receive their free flu vaccination, we are undertaking a flu vaccination blitz at some of our community sites this week.

With winter underway, we are already seeing increased community prevalence of Influenza. Even more so than usual, it is essential that employees get a free flu vaccination as soon as possible to ensure we protect our patients, our loved ones, and ourselves.

Who should get a flu vaccination?

All Monash Health employees are required to get vaccinated for Influenza – this ensures we reduce the spread in the hospital system as well as the community.

When should you get vaccinated?

You should get vaccinated against Influenza as soon as you can. Ensuring safety requires quick preventative action, so don’t delay getting your vaccination.
