It is the time of year when people are advised to have a vaccination jab to help protect from or reduce the symptoms of flu. Some people in higher risk categories, such as those over 65, get the immunisation free via the NHS. For others the jab is widely available through local pharmacies or local GPs.

A Health Essentials Briefing has been produced to provide more details on the subject and help people decide whether they wish to protect themselves. As usual CEMEX will reimburse the cost of the vaccination for those employees that are not entitled to a free jab. All employees have to do is provide their Line Manager with an itemised receipt and they will arrange for you to be reimbursed the cost up to a maximum of £20.

Note for Managers: Requests for reimbursement should be directed to Stockton using the form available on the Shift Health Community or see the download section on the UK News website which is  accessible from all home devices too (www.cemexuknews.co.uk).
