Just FYI.  There are NO formal religions who object or believe immunizations should NOT be given/taken.

Yes, if a varicella non-immune employee is exposed, they are out on furlough for the duration of the incubation period.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Varicella Immunity **External**



List-

I am interested to hear how others would handle this situation:



A candidate (DOB 1995)for an ER Patient Access (patient registration) position has a negative Varicella titer at the pre-placement evaluation and no vaccination records are available.  The candidate is told immunization will be required at which time they state they have a religious objection.  Our HR and Legal staff have advised that we make an accommodation and allow the candidate to work in the Patient Access position.  How do others handle if the non-immune employee is exposed to a patient with Varicella?  Do other organizations furlough the exposed employee for the duration of the incubation period (21 days)?



Thank you in advance.
