We do the same.  We carry Tdap.  We provide it to the employees upon request if they are due for a re-vaccination.

We do the same.  We do provide if due to work-related injury  per CDC guidelines and we only carry Tdap.

Great question – people have been asking me because their personal providers were sending them a document saying they were due for an other vaccine. At this point we have been telling people it is not our policy to vaccinate again and they should get it at their physicians office, and if they do to get a copy to bring to me for their employee health files.

Is anyone doing this?

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Updated Pertussis Vaccination

Hello-

Do any hospitals/med centers have policy on re-immunizing HCWs with Tdap sooner than the usual 10 year cycle? CDC doesn’t seem to indicate the usefulness, but our OB feels that the pertussis immunity wanes within 2 years, so we’re debating whether we need to consider a policy for re-immunizing, esp in OB and Peds.

Any evidence (literature or expert guidance) to back it up would be appreciated!

Thanks,

David
