As we approach the colder weather, we want to ensure as many employees as possible are offered the opportunity to have a flu vaccine.  This is to support the health & safety of our teams and local communities and help to reduce pressure on the NHS, as numbers of COVID cases and hospital admissions are expected to increase during winter.

As you may know, some employees will be able to receive a vaccine for free on the NHS, because they are deemed to be ‘at risk’ – for instance those who are pregnant, aged 50 years or older, or have certain medical conditions. If you believe you are eligible for a free flu vaccine on the NHS, visit here  for more information.

For those who are not able to receive a free flu vaccine on the NHS, CEMEX has confirmed that all employees who book to have the jab done privately at a convenient location to them, can then recharge the cost to CEMEX (up to £15).

Flu jabs are available from a variety of retailers including Boots, Superdrug, Tesco and ASDA. Please keep the receipt for your vaccine and the cost can then be reimbursed through payroll, by emailing the receipt with your details to: gb-hrcentraladmin@cemex.com

CEMEX strongly encourages all employees to have the flu vaccine this year. It is an important way to minimise the risk of illness to both ourselves and those we come into contact with.
