FLU SHOT CLINICS

The FLU:  Every year, 10% to 20% of Americans get the flu, a viral infection in the nose, throat and lungs.  For most people, the flu causes fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headache, muscle ache and fatigue.  Recovery is usually in 1 to 2 weeks.  But for some people, the flu is a more serious illness.  Each year, 130,000 people go to a hospital with the flu, and 20,000 people die because of the flu or its complications.

What does the FLU cost?  In the U.S., the annual direct medical cost of the flu is estimated to be up to $4.6 billion.  Each year, up to 111 million workdays are lost because of the flu.  Total direct and indirect costs of a severe influenza epidemic can run over $12 billion.

What does the FLU SHOT save?  A 2002 computerized model run by a Stanford investigator found a company can save an average of $30.00/employee by vaccinating their workplace against the FLU.
