Dear All
Also about Hep B and vaccines in general. I am working for a mental health
Trust, not in a city, but pretty rural area. I would like to have sight of
vaccine policies from similar trusts if there are any OHA's working for one.
We know that our staff are low risk but need to know what we have to give
and what others do. In this time of cost cuts do you still give BCG's
chicken pox and measles or do you send them off to speak to their GP. Do you
give blanket Hep B or do you vaccinate based on risk assessment.
Sorry to be dim about this but its years since I worked in a Trust let alone
a mental health one so am way out of touch.
Many thanks
Sue
