Notes:
Vaccinations help prevent disease. It is especially important for healthcare workers to be immune to these infectious diseases in order to protect patients and our own families as well as ourselves.
The mandatory varicella vaccination program initiated in June, 1998, has reduced varicella exposure incidents and significantly decreased non-immune employees’ risk of getting chickenpox. It has also reduced the use of administrative leave and overall exposure management costs.
