Immunizations
Required Immunizations
H&HC Policy 04-06-002 mandates that employees and volunteers document proof of immunity to certain communicable diseases, including measles, rubella (German measles), mumps and varicella (chicken pox). Immunity to those diseases will be documented at the new employee health assessment. If proof of immunity is not available, blood can be drawn to assess immune status or vaccine can be given.
Periodic Immunizations
Periodic immunizations are offered free of charge. These include influenza, diphtheria-tetanus and specific immunizations for employees who may travel internationally. Influenza immunization is offered each fall. Employees are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity as a means of protecting themselves, their families and their patients from influenza.
