Good Morning All
A question for people working in the private hospital sector, about the management of staff immunisation in line with the version 10 immunisation guidelines and the Standard 3 Infection Control requirements concerning staff immunisation status, the process of checking staffs immunisation status, serology testing and vaccination administration, consent forms and how to manage vaccine refusers.I am proposing to utilise our Emergency Services (ES) dept open from 0800 to 2200 who currently manage with IC staff blood and body fluid exposures and undertake the yearly flu vaccination campaign.
My plan involves: A dedicated clinic time frame to occur in ES. RGNS to gather consent to be signed to undertake screening and assessment, complete the screening and assessment tool and compile documented evidence. Referral as needed to MOs for serology and checking of results, management of vaccine refusers, gaining consent and ordering administration of vaccines – to be given by RGNs. Payment of fee paying vaccines ??? by staff member or hospital ????. Documentation of staff member immunisation status to be entered into staff health database by IC and hard copies kept in personal file.
If any one is happy to share their ideas/thoughts I would be grateful

Hi Paulina,
We have a dedicated role for staff pre-employment immunisation screening and provision of vaccinations as required. All new employees are required to complete a staff health pre-employment questionnaire and provide evidence of vaccination history (if they can). We have a specific area for the staff vaccination clinic – no ED on site.
The staff health nurse reviews all questionnaires and determines who requires vaccination/serology testing etc. Vaccinations are provided free of charge. Our CEO is a medico with a provider number and authorises administration of vaccines. Written consent (or refusal) is required and these forms are scanned and sent back to our central HR and stored electronically on the employee personnel file. Record of vaccination is entered on the staff data base and staff are given a HCW vaccination record card for their own records – this doesn’t stop them from ringing us up months later asking for copies though!
The staff health role is part-time at 17.5 hours/week and is classified at a Clinical Nurse level here in the west.
Hope this helps.Barbara Elliott I Manager Infection Prevention & Control I St John of God Subiaco Hospital

Paulina, we have tried a method something like you are describing. We are a rural public hospital. We had nurses in ED who were qualified nurse immunisers and a set afternoon a month when staff could present for immunisations etc. It was difficult on busy days of which there were many and staff had to remember the set day a month. We changed to providing the service out of the infection control office and training the infection control staff as nurse immunisers. People can pop in or make an appointment. At flu immunisation time we advertise set clinics. ED immunising staff found it hard to find time to enter vaccinations given, serology etc into the data base.
This system works better for us and I think there has been an improvement in staff participation in the immunisation program from when it was run through the ED.
