Help employees find flu vaccines with this online tool

One way to limit the impact flu season has on your workforce:
Help employees locate vaccines.
Many employers provide free or discounted flu shots on-site through their health plan — but the attention H1N1 has gotten has lead to vaccine shortages in many areas, leaving companies empty handed.
But HR can still direct people to the most convenient places to get vaccines. And now that’s even easier with the new flu shot finder tool from Google Maps.
Just enter an address or zip code and the finder will locate places offering flu shots in the area, distinguising which are carrying only the regular flu shot and which have the H1N1 vaccine. The list isn’t definitive or official — some locations may not show up on the map, and those displayed could be out of the vaccine, so employees should call ahead.
