Keeping your team well — flu jabs and travel vaccinations for business
A friendly, fuss-free way for Trafford and Manchester employers to protect staff over winter and get business travellers ready for their trips, all arranged through your local pharmacy.
When a bout of winter flu sweeps through an office or a key colleague is heading abroad for work, the last thing you need is a complicated process. We help businesses across Urmston, Trafford and Greater Manchester look after their people with seasonal flu vaccinations and the jabs employees may need before travelling for work.
Run from Davyhulme Pharmacy here in Urmston, it's a personal service with a real local team behind it. Whether you're a small firm wanting a handful of staff vaccinated or a larger employer organising things on a wider scale, we'll talk through what suits you, keep the admin light, and where it makes sense come to your workplace to do it.
Vaccinations we can arrange for your team
Exactly what's needed depends on the destination and each person's health and history — our pharmacist confirms this in a short consultation before anyone is vaccinated. The list below is a typical starting point.
Seasonal influenza
The mainstay of any workplace scheme — helps reduce winter absence and keeps teams running through the busy season.
Hepatitis A
Often considered for staff travelling to parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Central or South America where it spreads through food and water.
Typhoid
Also food- and water-borne; frequently looked at alongside hepatitis A for longer or rural business trips.
Hepatitis B
May be relevant for some roles or longer postings — our pharmacist will advise based on the work and destination.
Tetanus
A good moment to check your team's tetanus cover is up to date, especially for hands-on or outdoor work overseas.
COVID-19
Staying up to date can be sensible before international travel; requirements and recommendations vary.
Workplace flu jabs that fit around your business
Flu can move quickly through a busy team and leave you short-staffed at exactly the wrong time of year. A workplace flu scheme is a simple, practical way to help cut winter absence and show staff you're looking after them. We can vaccinate eligible employees at the pharmacy, or for a group we can usually arrange to come to your premises across Trafford and Manchester. Tell us roughly how many people and when, and we'll build something that works around your shifts and your diary.
Getting business travellers trip-ready
If colleagues travel abroad for work, the vaccines they may need depend entirely on where they're going, what they'll be doing and their own health history. Our pharmacist checks the latest country guidance and assesses each traveller individually in a short consultation. It's best to start around four to six weeks before a trip so there's time for courses to be completed and to take effect. If a departure has crept up on you, get in touch anyway — there's often still something useful we can do, and we can usually see people quickly here in Urmston.
Simple to set up, simple to invoice
We keep the paperwork light. Get in touch with rough numbers and dates, and we'll talk through options, suggest a sensible plan and agree clear pricing up front — no surprises. One local point of contact handles your flu scheme and your travellers, with billing arranged to suit your business rather than chasing individual receipts. It's the kind of straightforward, neighbourly service that's easy to come back to year after year.
Frequently asked questions
There's no strict minimum. We're happy to vaccinate a small number of employees at the pharmacy, and for larger groups we can often arrange to come to your workplace across Trafford and Manchester. Tell us your numbers and we'll suggest the best approach.
For group bookings we can usually arrange an on-site session, subject to a suitable space and dates. For smaller numbers it's often simplest for staff to pop into Davyhulme Pharmacy in Urmston. We'll talk through what works best for you.
That's exactly what the consultation is for. Our pharmacist reviews the destination, the nature of the trip and each person's health and vaccination history against current travel-health guidance, then advises what's appropriate — nobody is vaccinated until that check is done.
We agree clear pricing with you before anything goes ahead and arrange invoicing to suit your business, so you're not collecting individual receipts from staff. Just ask and we'll explain the options when you get in touch.
