Pre-employment immunisation screening

[Barbara Elliott]

Dear All,
We are currently reviewing our pre-employment immunisation screening, vaccination requirements and a catch-up for existing staff who have incomplete vaccination histories on staff records.

I am interested to hear how other organisations manage this, specifically with regard to the following:

* Is there a dedicated staff health clinic at your hospitals who manage all pre-employment assessments and vaccinations, and if so how are hours/FTE allocated to this responsibility

* How is evidence/proof of immunisation obtained

* Is pre-employment immunisation status included in the recruitment process

* Are HCW permitted to commence employment with incomplete vaccination history

* How is non-compliance managed

* Protocols for existing staff catch up

Kind regards

Barbara Elliott | Manager Infection Control
