A. Required Employees: Employees in section 54-2-14 of this chapter, Classification A are required to receive a Hepatitis B vaccination series, due to their exposure potential. Usually, only one vaccination series is needed for an entire lifetime, though booster vaccinations are available as needed.
B. Discretion To Include Additional Employees: However, department heads retain the discretion to offer Hepatitis B vaccinations to additional employees should a review of the position by competent medical authority indicate an employee may have an occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials and require a preexposure Hepatitis B vaccination.
