Employers have a unique opportunity to protect their employees from vaccine-preventable diseases like COVID-19, influenza, shingles, pneumococcal, HPV, and RSV through workplace immunization programming. Immunization remains one of the most cost effective preventative health strategies for employers, protecting employees while offering significant ROI for employers through reduced sick time and disability claim costs. However, many employers lack the knowledge of how to implement vaccination promotion strategies in the workplace, and how to collaborate with benefits providers to ensure comprehensive coverage. This informative webinar is designed for employers, HR professionals, and benefits advisors. Throughout this session, we will explore the importance of adult immunizations, the benefits of a vaccinated workforce, and how employers can be a driving force in increasing employee health and wellness through vaccination programs. Participants will be provided with an overview of a free resource the "Employer Health Prevention Centre" to support their workplace health and wellness programming.
