Urgent care walk-in clinic
Most healthcare insurance plans have prudently expanded their coverage
to include treatment at urgent care clinics. One of the drawbacks of this
demand for increased productivity in the workplace, is that many employees show
up to work when they are sick. Gone are the days when people called an
understanding boss because they had a head cold. Sickness at work is a common
occurrence, even when there are rampant cases of the flu and viruses. It is almost
impossible to stay healthy when you are surrounded by co-workers who are
sneezing and coughing. However, we want to offer some tips that can drastically
reduce your risk of catching a cold or flu, regardless of your work environment.
Get vaccinated
Getting a seasonal flu vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine can save you
from days of missed work time. Ask your urgent care physician if you are in a
risk group for pneumonia. These vaccines cause our immune systems to create
antibodies that will help fight the disease.
