Preventing Influenza in the Workplace: Importance of Vaccination and Economic Justification

2023-09-13 12:21:06

In anticipation of the epidemic rise in the incidence of influenza and ARVI, we draw attention to the need to prevent influenza among workers of enterprises, organizations, and institutions. Preventive vaccination of the adult population is economically justified, as it reduces the incidence of influenza among the working population. Respiratory infections cause significant economic damage: interruption of the work process during illness, payment of sick leave, decreased performance following an infection, payment for medications and other expenses. In order to ensure maximum individual and collective protection, it is recommended that at least 80% of the team’s employees be vaccinated. It must be remembered that the immunity developed following vaccination performed in 2022 does not protect once morest the disease in 2023-2024, due to a change in circulating strains. Therefore, annual immunization with current vaccines is necessary.
