[MCOH-EH] MCOH-EH Digest, Vol 251, Issue 345-vaccines for healthcare workers

[Diane Shaw]

It is illegal in the state of Oregon to require vaccination or employment. Therefore, all employees are allowed to decline and sign a declination form. Hep B is offered to anyone who has the potential for exposure to blood, meningococcal vaccine is offered only to the microbiologists.

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!
