Colds and flu on average result in up to 120 days sickness absence per 100 employees.
Swine flu is included in the 2010 winter flu vaccination.
Flu vaccinations can result in a reduction (of 50 days sickness absence; from 120 to 70 days sickness per 100 employees) from 120 days to 70 days sickness absence per 100 employees.
