Influenza vaccinations –
a gift for you all
Our enterprise offers all employees an influenza vaccination. This is a voluntary service that many take advantage of since it saves them paying a visit to their primary care physician, which often entails long waiting times, and is also free-of-charge for the Erbe workforce. The team at the reception desk in Tübingen schedules appointments before the flu season begins.
Influenza has a strange reputation in Germany. Everyone knows about this pesky viral disease and almost everyone has come down with it at least once in their life, with some even contracting it several times and being plagued by symptoms for days or weeks.
Influenza is highly infectious, with those who fall ill often infecting their entire family, other students in their class or colleagues at work. The disease inflicts people of all ages. It can prove life-threatening for the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions. The death toll during a severe flu season quickly rises into the thousands. Despite this being a well-known fact, many view it with complacency rather than caution.
Enterprises like ours offer their employees a vaccination as a voluntary service. The vaccinations are administered on site by the company physician, which is practical because the small prick of the needle takes only seconds. The whole procedure doesn’t even take as long as it does to read this article. By getting a vaccination, you protect yourself along with others.
