Flu Season
Life-Science Innovations and Affiliates will again be offering employees a free flu vaccine this fall to prevent the onset and spread of the influenza virus. More information on how to schedule your vaccination will be sent in the upcoming weeks.
Why should I have a flu shot?
Every flu season is different and this year we have the added impact of COVID-19. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the similarities to influenza, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is recommending the flu vaccine to help reduce the burden of flu illness and hospitalization. Influenza infection can affect people differently, but millions of people get the flu every year, hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized with many more at risk for severe flu-related illnesses every year. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to help protect against flu. Vaccination has been shown to have many benefits including reducing the risk of flu illnesses, reducing the risk of spreading the flu and reducing potential hospitalizations.
We encourage every employee, for the health and welfare of all of our employees (your coworkers), their families and our animals (the core of our business), to take advantage of the convenience and no cost onsite vaccination. Please see the state-specific flu-shot clinic dates below.
Please reach out to your local HR contact should you have any questions.

Empower Education Series is back!
Empower will again be offering an interactive educational WebEx series providing you the opportunity to interact with Empower Retirement educators. Empower’s web series continues in September focusing on Financial Fitness. New for this education series is that all presentations will also be offered in Spanish.
There will be a variety of topics covered and these virtual sessions may include employees from multiple employers; therefore, they will not focus on details specific to the Life-Science Innovations and Affiliates Retirement Plan. However, the information in these presentations will help you understand broader strategies that may be helpful for you.
The upcoming sessions for the fall include:
- September | Financial Fitness
- October | Financial Wellness
- November | Budgeting
