Answer Example
"In my last position, I took just 2 days off in one year. Both absences were excused as I had a long weekend planned. I do not take many holidays and do not get sick very often. You can be assured that I will show up for work on time, and when expected."

Great! I suggest developing your response a bit more by naming the fact that you are highly reliable as an employee (this is such an important trait!)
