Flu vaccinations
We are no longer selling flu vaccinations for the current season
Because you want the team to be flu-free
We’ve been providing businesses with flu vaccinations throughout the UK for the last ten years. Our flu vaccination programmes are designed to help protect your workforce against the spread of flu, helping to maintain your business’s productivity during the flu season.
There are two ways to get vaccinated. A trained nurse can administer the vaccinations with minimum disruption in your workplace, or employees can visit a participating pharmacy. We also provide all employees with a dedicated 24/7 helpline for any flu vaccination and post-vaccination advice.

-
If all vaccines are not used, do we still need to pay for them?
We ask clients to estimate the number of vaccines, when completing the booking form. The organiser will communicate with the employees and will have an exact quantity of vaccines required a few days in advance. Bupa will call the site to confirm the amount required, once the number has been confirmed we’ll send the exact quantity. We do charge for the number sent, as the interruption to the cool storage of vaccines means they can't be used again.
-
Do Bupa send promotional material to help us advertise the flu programme internally, and if so, what do you send?
We send an online toolkit that contains launch materials, communication material, marketing material, medical documentation, posters and checklists. This will ease the administration required for the flu programme.
-
What is the online booking system?
The online booking system is a specific tool to help companies/employees scheduling appointments. This ensures each employee is booking their own appointment at a suitable time to the site they are based. They’ll receive a confirmation email to confirm registration and booking an appointment, this includes the room details of the clinic. The day before the clinic, an email is sent to the site contact, with the scheduled consent form.
-
When will the couriers arrive?
Couriers will deliver on the mornings – Monday and Tuesday (before 9am). All other working days the equipment will be delivered the day before.

What is the process for vouchers?
