About the flu

The flu is a contagious disease spread by coughing, sneezing and close contact, and its peak season is between October and May each year. Symptoms include many of the same symptoms as the common cold, as well as fever, chills and muscle aches. People often experience the onset of the flu as sudden and intense with symptoms typically lasting a week. The flu leads to complications including pneumonia, and causes thousands of deaths and more than 200,000 hospital visits annually.1 Approximately 5-20% of the U.S. population gets the flu each year.2

Annual vaccination is important. The causative agent of the flu is the influenza virus, which is capable of rapidly changing. There are two main influenza virus types: type A and type B, each of which has several subtypes, and different subtypes circulate each year.

About the vaccine

There are several available flu vaccines, and for 2015, all are either trivalent or quadrivalent. We will have both for the upcoming season, including quadrivalent intranasal vaccine.

The trivalent flu vaccine covers two influenza A subtypes (H1N1 and another) and a single influenza B subtype, while the quadrivalent protects against two of each subtype. For the 2015-2016 flu season, the WHO has already issued recommendations for the vaccine components, which include:

  • Trivalent vaccine:
    • type A: H1N1 and H3N2,
    • type B: Phuket/3073/2013
  • Quadrivalent vaccine:
    • type A: H1N1 and H3N2,
    • type B: Phuket/3073/2013 and Brisbane/60/2008 3

Why get vaccinated?

A flu shot is the single best way to prevent yourself from getting the flu, and your flu shot helps protect the people you come in contact with as well. Setting up a Passport Health flu clinic for your employees before flu season is a great way to help them protect themselves and their families.

In addition to taking care of your employees, your clinic will have a very real benefit for your bottom line. The CDC estimates the annual direct costs of influenza illness at $10.4B in hospital stays and outpatient care, with lost productivity amounting to another $6.2B.4 A flu shot is the best way to cut those costs.
