Flu prevention and COVID-19

Vaccinations can help protect your employees and your business

While a flu vaccine won’t protect you or your workforce from COVID-19, it can reduce the risk of the flu and help conserve potentially scarce health care resources needed to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Research also shows it’s possible to have the flu and COVID-19 at the same time.1 And while COVID-19 has proven deadlier than the seasonal flu virus, the flu can be deadly, too.

Benefits of getting vaccinated
By encouraging your employees to get the flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine, you’re helping to keep your workforce healthy and your business strong. You’re also helping to reduce health care costs for you and your employees.

Vaccines are a safe and effective way of protecting people against diseases and illnesses and saving lives. Rather than treating a disease after you get it, vaccines can prevent you from getting sick in the first place.

Vaccine resources for your employees

Getting the flu shot

  • Worksite flu clinics

Is it the flu or COVID-19?


Getting the COVID-19 vaccine


If your employees aren’t already vaccinated for COVID-19, they may be able to get both the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time — and it’s safe to do so.

Employees should visit kp.org/covidvaccine to schedule a vaccination appointment, get the latest updates on booster shots, learn how the vaccines work, and more.
