Council covers the cost of flu jabs for staff

Many council staff are eligible to receive a free flu vaccine (your GP will contact you if you fall into these categories), but for those who aren’t the council will cover the cost again this year.

Flu (also known as influenza) can be serious and having a flu vaccination every year is the best way to protect yourself.

If you are eligible you are encouraged to get your free flu vaccine, further information on eligibility is available here 

If, however you are not eligible for a free vaccine, you can pay to have it done at a selection of national and independent pharmacies and the council will reimburse the fee.

To claim the reimbursement visit your My View account, which is now accessible from any device, and select the expenses section – just remember to keep your receipt as proof that you have had the vaccination. If you need help accessing your My View account, please speak to your manager.

Please share this information with colleagues who do not have access to this newsletter.
