“Imagine the action of a vaccine not just in terms of how it affects a single body, but also in terms of how it affects the collective body of a community.” — Eula Biss, author of On Immunity.
We offer a broad range of vaccinations (including Influenza, Hep A & B, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, HPV, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Pneumococcal & Chickenpox) to workplaces Australia wide. Vaccinations are safe, efficient and highly cost effective. Call us today to discuss your needs further.
Conservatively each year in Australia influenza results in: (1)
-
1,500,000 lost work days- 2,500 deaths
- 300,000 GP visits
- 18,000 hospitalisations
Individuals with chronic health problems are 40 times more likely to experience serious complications associated with influenza with the risk increasing 800 fold if the chronic health problems are heart or lung related.(2)
It is estimated that 10% – 20% of the workforce is absent at some point during the flu season due to the impact of the influenza virus. Studies confirm workplace flu vaccinations maximise productivity by reducing staff sick leave and boost workplace morale by demonstrating employers care about their employees. (3)
Overall a vaccinated workforce experiences:
On-site workplace flu vaccination programs generate savings between $14 – $84 per vaccinated employee, or $2.58 per dollar spent on vaccination. That’s a reasonable expectation of $4,000 saving for every averted illness.
CALCULATING YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
For ease of calculation, here is a sample formula to measure the yearly conservative financial impact of the flu on a company with 100 employees. Utilise this tool to calculate a ROI based on your employee numbers.
The cost of absence represents the 5-day replacement cost of an individual employee based on the average wage.
A ROI calculation does not factor in having infected employees at work who are less productive nor overtime, administrative fees and lost opportunity costs. As a result, estimated return on investment savings are therefore conservative.
| Number Of Employees | 100 |
| Average Annual Wage Of Employees | $50,000 |
| Prevalence of Influenza(av. 15% – 25%) | 20% |
| Cost of each individual Absence (average 5 days) | $962 |
| Vaccination Take Up Rate | 33% |
| Average Cost per Vaccination | $30 |
| Effectiveness of Vaccination | 80% |
| Number of Influenza Cases Prevented | 7 |
| Cost of Vaccination Service | $990 |
| $ Potential Cost Due to Absenteeism WITHOUT Vaccination | $15,368 |
| $ Potential Cost Due to Absenteeism WITH Vaccination | $4,056 |
| ROI($) | $2,411 |
| ROI(%) | 177% |
