Flu protection that keeps your team moving
Protect your people with just a few clicks.
Stay ahead of seasonal disruption
Flu season doesn’t wait for your organisation’s busiest periods – but planning ahead can make all the difference. Offering flu vaccinations isn’t just a wellbeing initiative; it’s a smart operational decision that protects productivity, reduces disruption and keeps your workforce performing at its best.
Last year, many businesses that didn’t secure vaccinations early found they couldn’t access jabs through the NHS due to tighter eligibility criteria and limited availability.
With similar pressures expected again this year, early planning is the most reliable way to ensure your teams are protected when it matters most.
Each flu case typically results in 4–7 days* off work, disrupting operations and team performance.
Flu vaccination is estimated to prevent over 100,000 hospitalisations* in England each year, significantly reducing pressure on the NHS.
*Estimate based on: UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) 2025–26 Surveillance Reports; NHS England Flu Vaccination Uptake Data 2025–26; ONS Sickness Absence Statistics 2025; RAND Europe Influenza Economic Impact Modelling.

FAQs
Have questions about digital flu vouchers? Here are some common FAQs to help you understand how they work and how they can benefit your organisation.
What is a digital flu voucher?
A digital flu voucher is an online alternative to traditional paper-based flu vouchers. It makes it easier for employees to redeem their vaccination and for businesses to track usage. Plus, it’s more eco-friendly!
How do employees redeem their digital voucher?
Employees can visit one of over 3,500 trusted pharmacies and present their digital voucher code via their mobile device to the pharmacist to receive their vaccination.
How long does it take to set up digital flu vouchers?
We can set up a unique company code within 24 hours (or even sooner if needed). This code can then be shared with employees immediately.
Do we pay for unused vouchers?
With the PAYG model, you only pay for vouchers that are redeemed by employees. The pre-paid model requires upfront payment for a chosen number of vouchers.
Which pharmacies can employees use to redeem their vouchers?
Employees can redeem their vouchers at over 4,500 pharmacies, including Lloyds Pharmacy, pharmacies in Sainsbury’s, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Kamson Pharmacy, and Dears Pharmacy, among others.
Employees feel valued when you invest in their wellbeing. It’s a small gesture with a big impact on engagement and loyalty.
