How many people take up the Flu vaccination?
Workplace flu vaccination uptake can vary company to company and in fact year to year within the same company. Internal promotion and communication can make a big impact on likely numbers, as well as motivation to avoid illness and perception of current risk. In a typical year, a good general guide would be to consider the total eligible staff population: we would expect between 25%-45% to choose to be vaccinated.
A by-product of the coronavirus pandemic has been an increase in awareness that flu is avoidable and that its complications are preventable, which has increased uptake of the flu vaccine.
