It is a major cause of illness and absenteeism in Ireland each year. It\u2019s easily spreadable and is contagious even before symptoms appear. Influenza thrives in workplace environments infecting around\u00a01 in 4 people\u00a0each winter. Vaccinating employees against flu will help to stop the spread of flu at work (thus keeping people productive through winter).<\/p>\n<p>Advanced Medical Services (AMS) provides the seasonal flu vaccination to companies nationwide. Our vaccination service is carried out onsite and is Doctor led.
