Immunisations

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is recommended for workers who potentially may have contact with blood or body fluids. These include:

Care workers
Clinical staff
Domestic workers
Street cleaners
Refuse Collectors

A full course of Hepatitis B consists of 3 injections over a period of 6 months followed by a blood test at which time immunity levels are checked. It is possible that a booster may be needed but the nurse would discuss this at the time with the client.

Flu

For individuals:

Not eligible for a Flu Vaccine from your GP? We Can Help.

For business: Flu vaccinations make sense for any organisation.

They are proven to reduce absence so they more than pay for themselves in an average year. In addition, as part of your disaster recovery and pandemic contingency planning, they help protect against significant disruption to your organisation and your services. Influenza vaccination is also a popular staff benefit.
