Your workplace flu clinic
Booking your onsite appointment, what to know before your shot, and your certificate.
Before your flu shot: what you need to know
Most people can have the flu shot. Booking and consent are online (see Book your workplace flu shot appointment), so bring nothing. Stay 15 minutes afterwards. In Australia, every vaccinator we send is a Registered Nurse with HESA-accredited Nurse Immuniser training. In New Zealand, clinics are run by qualified local immunisation nurses. Tell the nurse if you feel unwell, or if: - You have had anaphylaxis after a flu vaccine or any of its ingredients. This is the only absolute reason not to be vaccinated. - You have had Guillain-Barré syndrome. Tell the nurse, and say whether it started within 6 weeks of a vaccine. If your first episode was not after a flu vaccine, the AIH says you have an extremely low risk of recurrence and flu vaccination is recommended. If it started within 6 weeks of a vaccine, the AIH says you may have a higher risk of GBS recurrence, so talk through the risks and benefits with your GP before your flu shot. - You are 65 or over. We recommend the enhanced vaccine. In Australia it is government-funded under the National Immunisation Program at your GP or pharmacy. If you'd rather not go, you can have the standard adult flu vaccine at your workplace at no cost to you. It protects you less than the enhanced vaccine, but it is better than no vaccine. Pregnant or breastfeeding? Nothing changes for you: the flu shot is recommended in each pregnancy, at any stage, and while breastfeeding, and more so in pregnancy because you are at higher risk from flu. Ask the nurse anything you're unsure about. What to expect Flu vaccines do not cause influenza. A sore injection site is common (more than 10% of people). Fever or muscle aches (1 to 10%) may last 1 to 2 days. Anaphylaxis is very rare (AIH). Stay at least 15 minutes after your shot, and don't drive during that time. Seriously unwell later? Call 000 (111 in New Zealand). Still stuck? Email flu@corporatecare.com.au.

Book your workplace flu shot appointment
Use the online booking link from your workplace. Booking and consent are both online, so you bring nothing on the day. How to book 1. Find the booking link. Your wellbeing or People & Culture team sends it. Can't find it? Ask them. 2. Open the link (or scan the QR code your organiser shares) and choose an appointment time. 3. Complete your consent form online. You answer the health questions now, so there's no paperwork at the clinic. 4. Add the booking to your calendar. You can add it to Apple, Google, Outlook, Outlook.com or Yahoo calendars. On the day - Bring nothing. Wear a top that gives easy access to your upper arm. - Ask the nurse any questions, and tell them if you feel unwell. - Stay 15 minutes after your shot, or as long as the nurse advises, and don't drive during that time. Seriously unwell later? Call 000 (111 in New Zealand). See Before your flu shot: what you need to know. If you can't make your time Cancel or change your booking as early as you can. Your first confirmation email has a reschedule and cancel link. You can also reply to that email or email flu@corporatecare.com.au, and tell your organiser. See Missed your workplace flu clinic? Your options. No booking, or the wrong time If you turn up outside your slot or without a booking, ask the nurse. The nurses carry extra vaccines and can generally fit you in, but there's no guarantee, so booking online is best. Without an online booking, you complete the consent form on the nurse's device before your shot. Still stuck? Email flu@corporatecare.com.au.

Missed your workplace flu clinic? Your options
Ask your organiser first. Some workplaces offer a catch-up clinic or a flu voucher for people who miss the clinic, but not all do. Your options 1. A catch-up clinic. Ask your organiser whether there's another clinic day you can move to, then cancel your original slot. 2. A flu voucher. If your workplace offers vouchers for people who can't make the clinic, your organiser will tell you how to get one. The voucher is for you, the employee, and works at any participating store of the pharmacy chain you choose, anywhere in the country, and only that chain. If it isn't working, see My voucher code isn't working. 3. Your GP or a pharmacy. If your workplace offers neither, you can have the flu shot at a GP or pharmacy. You may need to pay, unless you're eligible for a government-funded vaccine, as everyone aged 65 and over is. In Australia, check who is eligible on health.gov.au (some GPs and pharmacies still charge a consultation or service fee). In New Zealand, check who is eligible on Pharmac. If you know you'll miss it Use the reschedule or cancel link in your first confirmation email as early as you can (or reply to that email, or email flu@corporatecare.com.au), and let your organiser know. If you miss it on the day Tell your organiser or email us. If the nurses are still on site, ask them. They can generally fit in people without a booking, but there's no guarantee. You complete the consent form on the nurse's device before your shot. Still stuck? Email flu@corporatecare.com.au.
