Hepatitus B Survey

Q: We are evaluating our current blood borne pathogens vaccination program (i.e. Hepatitis B) for regular and temporary staff. We’d like to hear from our peers with people working in an environments with similar risk for this survey. Specifically:

• Do you require temporary employees be vaccinated for Hepatitis B (for example) OR require that they sign a vaccination waiver or Declination form as a condition of being placed with your Company?
• If yes, what is your requirement for verification of vaccination?
• If vaccination is required for placement, who pays for the vaccinations?
• Do you require the agencies your company works with to communicate information about your Company’s Hepatitis B vaccine program prior to placing their staff with your company?
• Do you require the agencies your company works with to provide safety training surrounding Hepatitis B prior to placing their staff with your company?
• Do you require regular employees be vaccinated for Hepatitis B (for example) OR require that employees sign a vaccination waiver as a condition of being hired?
• If vaccination is required for employment, does your company pay for the vaccinations?
• If vaccination is required, what department administers and monitors the program?
• Does your Company offer Hepatitis B vaccination to all regular employees, or to just those with potential exposure?
