Immunizations
Tetanus vaccinations
A tetanus vaccination is important for workers in contact with soil, sewage or domestic animals, or those with greater than usual risk of traumatic injury. A tetanus booster is recommended every 10 years to maintain active protection and every 5 years with an injury.
Flu Shots
Flu shots are offered in October through February. The vaccine takes about six weeks to build immunity. Flu vaccinations can be scheduled on-site with minimal participation.
Hepatitis B
Employers are required to offer Hepatitis B vaccinations to all employees who are exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials as part of their jobs, in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. The three-injection series is given during a six-month period, and can be provided at your work site.
TB (PPD)
The tuberculosis skin test is a test used to determine if someone has developed an immune response to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis.
Other possible immunizations include, but not limited to:
Hepatitis A
Typhoid
Yellow Fever
MMR
Rabies
TwinRix
Meningoccal Vaccine Polio Tuberculosis Testing
