Section 3, EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES HEALTH STANDARDS Communicable Disease and Bloodborne Pathogen Policy SFS-HEA-PL-004, Communicable Disease and Bloodborne Pathogen Policy Hepatitis B Vaccination Statement All employees who have been identified as having exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials will be offered the hepatitis B vaccine, at no cost to the employee. The vaccine will be offered within ten (10) working days of their initial assignment to work which involves the potential for occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. This does not apply if the employee has previously had the vaccine or wishes to submit to antibody testing which shows the employee to have sufficient immunity. Employees who decline the hepatitis B vaccine will sign a waiver. Employees who initially decline the vaccine, but who later wish to have it may then have the vaccine provided at no cost.
