Pandemic Preparedness
Guides, kits, resources, and facts
A pandemic flu could have significant impact on the welfare of employees, businesses, and the general economy. Our government’s health agencies have therefore asked businesses to develop special plans for pandemic outbreaks. Unlike the typical flu, a pandemic flu outbreak has the potential to cause widespread illness and even death around the world. Such an event would be expected to overwhelm our health care systems and have potentially catastrophic effects on business, commerce, and travel worldwide.
Once a pandemic occurs, it’s generally too late for a business to create and implement an effective response plan. So it’s critical for companies to develop a plan in advance to help protect employees and contain the advancing pandemic. Concentra offers a number of resources to aid your company in efforts to prevent pandemic flu outbreaks.
Visit the Scheduling a Concentra On-site Flu Shot Clinic page to learn more about protecting your employees and business from the negative impact of the flu.
