There are over 1.4 million cases of Hepatitis A reported in the Unite States each year and 350
million chronic carriers of hepatitis B worldwide. Management estimates that these two
vaccine-preventable diseases cost corporations and insurance companies an estimated
$3 billion in lost days and treatment costs.
The cost of these diseases is significant both in direct costs of treatment and the impact on
employee productivity. For example, if US corporations gave their employees the flu vaccine,
it is estimated that they could save over 16 million missed employee workdays nationally,
at a savings of almost $2 billion per year.
