I am very concerned about the hepatitis A epidemics that are occurring across the country, and that have at times touched the health care field, although that does certainly not represent the greatest risk.   But I would like our organization to be pro-active to the extent that we can, and I  was wondering if there were organizations on this list serve who track, or offer or require Hep. A for foodhandlers and/or other groups of employees.   I  assume that this would be a requirement in those places that mandate immunizations for ALL foodhandlers, but wondering what others do.
