Hi team,

I have a favor to ask the group.

I am reviewing the afterhours coverage for healthcare exposure (meningococcal, ATD, blood) and would greatly appreciate to hear about your site set up.

Question:

Who covers post exposure evaluation and treatment for meningococcal or blood borne after hours and weekends?

a) Emergency department

b) Infectious Control on call

c) Pharmacy -Standing order per hospital protocol

d) Occupational Medicine

e) Nurse with standing order

Your response is greatly appreciated.  I will share the results once I receive them.

Thank you,
