Vaccinations??

Do any of you know if we should get any vaccinations specific to our industry because we are working on people?

Since our job involves possible contact with blood/body fluids, it is recommended that we recieve the 3 injection series for Hepatitis B. The CDC has a PDF of recommendations for Healthcare Workers.

Perhaps your doctor can review your own immunization record and make recommendations.

Great question, Kristen!
