immunizations and tuberculosis clearance documentation is required

Prevention (CDC) and OSHA recommendations and guidelines for
Health-Care Personnel. Below are health certification details which
are subject to change as required by OSHA and CDC.
- Immunizations - based on the CDC Recommended Immunizations for
Health-Care Personnel (HCP), -all HCPs must submit documentation of
immunization to Hepatitis B (HB) (series of three doses with anti-
HBs serologic testing 1-2 months after dose #3), proof of immunity
to Hepatitis B, or a signed declination; Measles, Mumps, Rubella
(MMR); Varicella (chickenpox); and Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis
(booster every 10 years). -Highly recommended immunizations for the
HCP include COVID-19, Influenza (yearly), Hepatitis A, and
Pneumonia. For some individuals, a titer test will be indicated vs.
vaccinations. Titer tests showing immunity to listed pathogens are
acceptable. Titer tests showing a negative response require
appropriate immunizations and follow-up titers must be completed
and submitted. If one or more of the listed immunizations are
contraindicated, documentation must be submitted clearly
identifying the reason(s). Clinical laboratory reports with
facility stamp and medical doctor's signature are required.
- Tuberculosis Clearance - the CDC Guidelines for Preventing the
Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings
are intended to protect the HCP and patients.
- Two Options (consult with supervisor for specific program
requirements):
- The TB screening program consists of two major components: (1)
baseline single test for M. tuberculosis infection and (2) serial
testing/screening for M. tuberculosis infection. The HCP must have
a baseline single test followed by serial skin testing once per
year. If the HCP has a baseline positive result or has previously
had a positive result, a chest radiograph must be completed to
exclude a diagnosis of TB disease. Thereafter, every year the HCP
must receive a symptom screen.
- The TB blood test (also called interferon-gamma release assays
or IGRAs) measures how the immune system reacts to the bacteria
that cause TB. An IGRA measures how strong a person's immune system
reacts to TB bacteria by testing the person's blood in a
laboratory. IGRAs are the preferred method of TB infection testing
for people who have received bacille Calmette-Gu--rin (BCG) as this
is a vaccine for TB disease. There is no problem with repeated
IGRAs. Two IGRAs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) and are available in the United States: (1)
QuantiFERON --TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT) and (2) T-SPOT -.TB
test (T-Spot). Positive IGRA: This means that the HCP has been
infected with TB bacteria. Additional tests are needed to determine
if the HCP has latent TB infection or TB disease. A health care
worker will then provide treatment as needed. Negative IGRA: This
means that the HCP's blood did not react to the test and that
latent TB infection or TB disease is not likely

college setting required as defined by University's faculty
