Subject: [MCOH-EH] vaccines for health care workers

List,

 

I am interested to if there are any health systems out there that require/recommend meningitis vaccination for ER and/or EMS, in addition to the microbiologists identified by the ACIP? Do any of you mandate or require Hepatitis B vaccination for employees who are at risk of exposure? I am wondering if there are policies out there that go beyond the Hepatitis B OSHA standard.  Anyone willing to share their policies? 

 

Thank you in advance for your input!
