This is great Jeff. I recently changed our policy to require all of the workforce to have immunity to MMR.

MMR- proof of 2 vaccines or positive titer
Vz- proof of 2 vaccines or positive titer
There is no difference in our requirements between types of incoming employees. MDs, NPs, PAs, Nurses, non-clinical staff all require proof of MMRV immunity on hire. Older employees were presumably cleared when they started but we do not have that info in our EHS computer system. When we see longer-standing employees for clearance (recently Ebola teams) or surveillance we try to update their records and will offer either titers or vaccines if needed but there is no requirement that they do so.

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?

We require documentation of 2 MMR at least 28 days apart or protective titers for employees of the Health System. New house staff are the same. MDs employed by Health System are the same. Other faculty MDs are a group we do not have our arms around yet.
