Still Using Flu Vouchers in 2025? There’s a Better Way to Protect Your Team

If you’re handing out flu vouchers to your staff, it’s time to rethink things. Not only are vouchers outdated, they’re often expensive and offer little return. The truth is, most go unused and the lack of control, visibility, and value makes them a poor choice for modern businesses.

Let’s break down why switching to on-site workplace flu vaccination is the smarter, more cost-effective option.

Why Workplace Flu Vouchers Are Falling Short

Flu vouchers might seem like a quick win, you give staff the freedom to pop to their local pharmacy. But in reality, they come with hidden issues that cost you more than you might think.

Here’s what you’re really dealing with:

  • £10.50 to £20 per voucher – with no guarantee they’ll be used
  • No way to track uptake or check how many actually went for their jab
  • No control over budget – vouchers can easily go to waste
  • No insight into staff health trends to help you plan for the future
  • Low engagement – if it’s not convenient, most people won’t bother

That’s a lot of risk for a system that’s supposed to prevent illness and reduce absence.

On-Site Flu Vaccination: The Smarter Choice

Top Reasons to Switch to a Workplace Flu Jab Clinic

💷 Save Money While Improving Staff Health
Flu vaccines delivered directly to your workplace don’t just cost less per dose – they reduce absence too. NHS figures and UK workplace health providers show you can save £87 per employee each year in reduced sick days and lost productivity.

That adds up fast – especially for large teams.

📊 Clear Reporting & Real-Time Data
Unlike vouchers, on-site vaccinations offer full transparency. You’ll know who’s been vaccinated, when, and how many doses were administered. That means no guesswork, and smarter planning next flu season.

⏱️ More Convenient for Employees
Staff don’t have to book appointments or travel. Everything happens at work – so there’s no lost time, no disruption, and better participation.

🤝 Better Control & Budget Management
On-site clinics give you complete control. You know what you’re spending, what you’re getting, and you avoid misuse – like vouchers being handed off to family or forgotten in a drawer.

🛡 Trusted Health Delivery
Kays Medical are specialists in workplace health and flu prevention. You’ll be working with trained professionals who understand how to deliver large-scale flu protection safely and efficiently.

Boost Your Team’s Health and Your ROI

On-site flu jab programmes have been shown to:

  • Cut employee sick leave by up to 54% (source)
  • Increase vaccine uptake by over 20 percentage points when hosted at work (source)
  • Save you up to £522 per employee absence avoided (source)

Those aren’t just small wins. They’re game changers.

Ditch the Vouchers, Upgrade Your Flu Strategy

Flu vouchers are yesterday’s solution. In 2025, with tighter budgets and greater accountability, employers need smarter, more efficient ways to protect their people.

With on-site flu vaccination, you’ll:

  • Pay less per dose
  • Improve staff engagement
  • Reduce absences
  • Get full visibility and reporting
  • Stay in control of your budget

It’s simple, effective, and built for modern workplaces.
