[MCOH-EH] Student Volunteer Immunizations

[Marie-Christine David]

Hello Ms. Weaver,

Student volunteers are handled the same way as any volunteer.  They must
provide proof of immunization for MMR, Varicella, Tetanus, flu (when
appropriate),Hep B (if applicable - any possibility of sharps exposures/
injury), and 2-step TST.  If they don't have that information, we obtain
titers or provide the vaccination free of charge.  The one difference with
adult volunteers is minors (younger than 18 years of age) must be
accompanied by a parent or provide a note from a parent indicating they
agree to have their child treated by our clinic.

I hope this helps.
