Dear Glenn
If they do not undertake EPP'S what are the
risks ... Surely the most appropriate way to evidence the need is through a
robust risk assessment. I would also suggest that the check on titre levels post
vaccination is an important part of the vaccination
process.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Blood Test
refusal
Hello
can I ask views on the following please?
I've
been to see some staff and have advised that they consider being vaccinated
against Hepatitis B. Most have agreed. None undertake EPP but there is some
potential risk of exposure.
However, a number have said that whilst they
would have the course of vaccination they would not be prepared to have a blood
test to confirm immunity. This is despite some having various tattoos and
piercings!
My question is if we are unable to confirm immunity then is
there any point vaccinating? In the event of an injury we would ask for a serum
sample (which they have clearly said they would refuse) and so given their views
are we within our rights to decline vaccination?
I'd welcome your
thoughts
Regards
Glenn
