Influenza (flu) Immunization
Every year employee illness and absenteeism costs Canadian companies billions of dollars. Research recognizes the strong link between immunization and the prevention of serious health problems.

25% of Canadians contract the flu every year. An immunization program can significantly reduce this number in your workplace, improving employee attendance and productivity. Employees who receive a flu shot and still get the flu normally experience much less significant symptoms, and may return to work faster, further reducing absenteeism costs.

Hepatitis Immunization
We Care provides on site immunization for workers who are at risk of occupational exposure to Hepatitis A & B. This program is provided in a three-dose regimen administered over six months.

Other immunizations
We also offer tuberculosis and tetanus immunization.

Drug Tests
5-Panel, 6-Panel or 10-panel Quick Test are available for immediate results. Lab confirmation of any non-negative test results is also available. DOT and non-DOT collection of split sample urine are sent to the laboratory. Negative results are available within 48 hours. Our Medical Review Officer confirms any non-negative results.
