Question: By OSHA not requiring
the hepatitis B shot, can a person exempt themselves and still
gain (or keep) employment in the healthcare field?
Answer from Sherri Tenpenny, DO:
Yes, they can keep their employment and, if they
get a future needle stick and get, say, hep b or hep c, they can
still claim worker's comp if they file an employee report at the
time of the incident. Like with school exemptions (that most principles,
teachers and parents don't know exist), most employers don't know
that the OSHA exemption exists.
