Protect staff from Swine flu with the free vaccine
The Federal Department of Health and Ageing has advised the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza (or swine flu) vaccine will be free to businesses wanting to provide staff vaccination programs.
The pandemic resurfaced in the northern hemisphere earlier than the usual flu season and new cases and deaths are being reported daily. While the number of new cases in Australia has slowed they have not stopped, and new cases of infection with the influenza continue to be reported.
