(1) Vaccination will consist of three separate ICC injections of hepatitis B vaccine into the deltoid arm muscle. The vaccinations shall occur on Day 1, Day 30 and at six (6) months.
(2) Employees will not be required to accept vaccination at no cost; however, if an employee declines vaccination, they must sign a waiver form.
(3) If an employee declines vaccination and subsequently decides they wish to be vaccinated, they shall be vaccinated at no cost with the same three injection series as long as they still have an occupational status which requires vaccination.
