Flu vaccination for warehousing, distribution and logistics

Peak season and flu season are the same season. The clinic has to fit inside your busiest months without costing you pick rate.

The constraint

Distribution centres run flat out from October, which is exactly when vaccination needs to happen. Add 24-hour operations, agency labour that fluctuates week to week, and drivers who are rarely on site at a predictable time, and the scheduling problem becomes the whole problem.

How we run it

Handover clinics

Positioned at shift changeover so both the outgoing and incoming shift can attend without extending anyone's day.

Multiple attendances on one date

Early morning, late afternoon and night coverage delivered in a single clinic day rather than three separate visits.

Agency staff scope agreed in advance

Whether agency workers are in or out needs deciding before the clinic. We can bill by employer where the agency is funding its own people.

Driver catch-up

Drivers who miss the clinic window are covered by vouchers rather than being written off.

Timing against peak

The tension is real. Vaccinating in late September or early October means doing it before peak volume builds, which is operationally easier but leaves a longer tail of waning immunity by February. Vaccinating in November is clinically better timed and operationally far harder.

Our usual advice for distribution clients is mid-October: after the summer lull in staffing has resolved, before peak ramps properly, and close enough to the season that immunity holds through the December and January peak in circulation.

The standard service

From £11.99 per person, reducing with team size. Quadrivalent vaccine, individual clinical screening, pharmacist administration, anaphylaxis cover and uptake reporting within 48 hours, all included. No setup fee, and you pay only for vaccinations actually given.

Common questions

Can you cover all three shifts?

Yes, usually within a single clinic day using multiple attendances positioned at handovers.

What about agency workers?

Agree scope before the date. We can include them and invoice by employer, or restrict to direct employees.

When should a distribution centre schedule its clinic?

Mid-October generally works best: after summer staffing settles, before peak volume builds, and close enough to the season for immunity to hold through the December and January peak.
