[MCOH-EH] Tdap as condition of employment?

[Raye Nell Hanna]

We offer the Tdap but you can decline it unless you work with children and then you have to take it.

As for the Bitrex or Saccharin I have not had an employee decline a fit test during pregnancy. I have had them tell me they could not take a TB test and their OB writes them a note to defer it.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Tdap as condition of employment?

Do any of your institutions require Tdap at time of hire as a condition of employment?  HR is revisiting some policies and would like to know.

Also, do you postpone N95 fit testing using Bitrex for pregnancy?  We have a recent refusal by a pregnant woman due to the knowledge that INGESTED saccharin crosses the placenta.  I cannot find any documentation about INHALED dilution of saccharin and pregnancy.
Thanks for your responses.
