Immunize! We love to sound
this horn over and over again
10/12/04
Did you know that immunizations save society $5 for every
dollar spent? That mercenary fact pales in comparison to the
human toll when children and adolescents are left vulnerable
to diseases.
We
put a lot of effort into encouraging our members to get their
children immunized - newsletter articles, reminder cards,
phone calls. We even give our doctors incentives to immunize
all their patients. There's just not a good reason not to
have them done.
-
BCN covers them.
-
The consequences of the diseases they prevent can be catastrophic
compared to the very small risk of the vaccines.
-
Schools require them.
While
we're talking about shots for the children, what about you?
Have you thought about your flu shot? They're also covered
for BCN members and can keep you healthy and active while
others fight a losing battle with the bug.
Preventing
illnesses makes good sense and cents. Investing in these routine
immunizations now can save a bundle down the line by reducing
the need for medical care and in lost workdays due to your
own or your child's illness.
