Travel Medicine
Be Wise — Immunize
It has been estimated that as many as 50% of travelers become ill.
As an employer, you should be concerned about your employees health when
they travel on company business. Employees who become ill during a business
trip are covered under Workers' Compensation insurance, which, along with
occupation-related injuries, is typically excluded from health plan coverage.
Administering preventive vaccines and medication is the best way to keep
costs down.
