A TRANSPORT firm is offering its employees aged 50 and under a free flu jab.
Reading Buses says this is for staff members who aren’t eligible for one from the NHS.
Every employee signing up is being sent a voucher which can be used to book – and pay – for a vaccination at a convenient time.
The Great Knollys Street’s HR director, Caroline Anscombe, said: “Flu can be serious and each year causes thousands of people to go to hospital and thousands of deaths in the UK.
“It’s more important than ever this year to get a flu jab because immunity to flu may be lower than usual.
“We see this as another example of our investment in and care for our employees, but in turn our customers will also benefit from the peace of mind that we continue to do everything possible to keep our services running safely and reliably.”
