I’ve been asked to present hep C specifically, lots of discussion over the last year regarding vaccination of teachers , auxiliary and classroom assistants.
I would off course present a overview of all BBV. Risk assessment have been done . We are still leading towards non vaccination and hope that providing info regarding what is actually required for Hep b vaccination will put everyone off. Minimal exposure
to most staff but some bites , scratches to specific staff looking after special needs pupils – inclusion for all being this councils preferred route.
Looking forward to your advice and help , I’m expected to start rolling this out asap

Hi all
I had presumed Jackie had been asked to give the presentation as part of the "public health" initiative that some places are bringing in of adding HepB to the standard childhood/teenage vaccination schedule??
Jackie can you clarify why they want you to talk to the high school and is it to students or to staff?
Carr :)

I would agree - I give a presentation on induction on communicable
diseases to all new staff and concentrate on routes of transmission,
exposure prone work and the actual risks. Hep B is part of that chat -
I talk about vaccination being only one measure in the prevention of
spread of disease - the same exposure incident that could transmit Hep B
could also spread Hep C or HIV and we cant vaccinate against those . I
would be interested to know why this presentation has been requested and
by whom? I am taking it that this is to staff?
The issue I have within my workforce is that there is an expectation by
some that "blanket vaccination" against hep B should be the norm, I
disagree and only vaccinate those that do exposure prone work, and these
people are identified by risk assessment. This has the capacity to get
controversial on occasion......

Jacqui
I hope you don't mind my opinion on this but I would be inclined to also
concentrate on preventative actions to take regarding transmission /
infection with all Blood Borne Viruses rather than concentrating on
Hepatitis B and the vaccination.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] presentation for hep B vaccination
Morning, I have been asked to provide a presentation to a high school,
in the very near future, regarding hep B vaccination. Pro's and con's on
pre and post exposure vaccination, info on what to do after potential
exposure and details of what the inoculation involves etc. Does anyone
have a presentation they would be willing to share?
Thankyou
