Workplace immunisation service
Book a workplace immunisation session
Enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re helping keep your workplace safe and healthy.
You can arrange a workplace visit for your staff to receive the annual influenza vaccine, ideally between April and mid-June.
If your workplace arranges an influenza vaccine for its staff, employees may also opt to receive an additional vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), if eligible, until 30 June 2026.
Workplaces have flexible payment options:
- your business can be invoiced for staff vaccinations, or
- staff can pay individually when booking their appointment.
Bookings are made through our online system using a unique booking code specific to your workplace.
