There are no additional requirements for HD workers, to my knowledge. This sometimes gets confused because there is a need to monitor HBsAb on dialysis patients, who do lose immunity over time and need periodic vaccine boosting. But that's only for the patients getting HD, not the workers.

Can anyone direct me to resources for medical surveillance/preplacement exams for hemodialysis healthcare workers? Is there an indication to draw additional baseline lab work than you would draw for any other healthcare workers?
Thank you for any advice/guidance.
