BOSSES are being encouraged to get their staff immunised against flu to save money this winter.
As autumn approaches, levels of sickness at companies in Bolton will rise and the flu jab could mean more staff at work rather than at home with flu. The average worker takes 7.8 days off work a year due to sickness, at a cost of £588 to the firm.
The flu vaccination costs £25 from Direct Health 2000.
