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

[Swift, Melanie]

Yes we require proof of immunity or vaccination. For MMR we provide vaccination, for VZ we provide antibody testing and then vaccination if negative.
If born prior to 1957, considered immune to measles and mumps.
Same for all. (our physicians are employees, though we have a very small number of community physicians with privileges, same requirements apply to them.)

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?
