I would process it as a Workers compensation claim through the organization providing the vaccine.  This would ensure that labs are paid for by WC carrier and any treatment or follow-up labs would be covered.

We had an odd request by a large chain grocery store pharmacy and want to ask for your input.  THANKS ahead of time.

Pharmacy personnel gave an influenza vaccination, then stuck herself with the needle after administrating the vaccine.

Employer Nurse at corporate had BOTH the exposed and source brought to our office wanting us to draw blood on the source in order to fully evaluate the potential BBP exposure and use of prophylaxis treatment.

How would you handle such a request?   What guidance do you use for any type of needlestick and/or BBP exposure?

I would appreciate your insight and opinion as I am a bit (OK - a lot troubled!!) by such a request.   THANKS.  Darryl

I must have been a teen at the time ":)

While I absolutely am in favor of tests that can help a person define their health status and identify problems, I favor functional testing rather than screening testing in this instance- though old habits are hard to change and such screening is often requested by employers or is part of a standard package of testing.
