[MCOH-EH] MMR & VZ - proof of immunity

[Cassano Victoria]

Massachusetts does not require proof of immunity except for maternal/fetal practice. It does recommend following CDC Recommendations.
We review immunity and test for immunity to MMR and VZ and then offer vaccination free of charge if not immune. We require proof of immunity for those working mother/baby unit prior to beginning work. Credentialed providers and staff are treated the same.

For MMR & VZ, does your organization require proof of immunity for employees and staff?  Are the requirements the same or different for new employees vs. newly credentialed physicians on medical staff?
