The Shippers Group encourages everyone to get a flu shot. In partnership with Walgreens, TSG has made the flu shot available to associates across the company. Healthcare professionals are urging the pubic to get vaccinated for influenza claiming this year it is more important than ever. Avoiding the flu this season will help preserve precious healthcare resources as COVID-19 continues to strain the nation’s public health infrastructure.
Every year thousands suffer influenza infection. While we continue to battle the Coronavirus global pandemic, getting the flu shot could help avoid a mistaken diagnosis. There is no evidence that getting the flu shot increases or lowers the risk of getting Coronavirus.
Symptoms of influenza are very similar to symptoms of COVID-19 and include fever, cough, difficulty breathing and in some cases death. Protect yourself and your family by getting a flu shot. If you do not feel well, please stay home and continue your efforts to social distance, wash your hands, and wear your mask. We hope everyone stays safe and well this fall and winter season.
We are working diligently with our facility leadership and their teams to reinforce the importance of closely following guidelines of the CDC. For a complete list of all TSG COVID-19 Prevention and Response Documentation, visit our COVID-19 Resource page by clicking below.
