Immunisation
At Essential Occupational Health Services (EOHS), we recognise the vital role of immunisation in protecting employees against workplace-acquired infections. Our vaccination services are designed to support the health and safety of all employees, ensuring a safer work environment and minimising the risk of infectious disease outbreaks that can impact individual well-being and overall productivity.
Importance of Workplace Immunisation

Disease Prevention: Vaccinations are one of the most effective methods for preventing infectious diseases that can be transmitted in the workplace.

Health and Safety Compliance: Keeping your workforce vaccinated helps in meeting health and safety regulations and guidelines, particularly in industries where exposure to certain infections is higher.
-
Reduced Absenteeism: Immunisation against common infectious diseases can significantly reduce sickness-related absences, maintaining operational productivity.
