What is the OSHA requirement regarding the Hepatitis B vaccine for at-risk dental healthcare personnel?

  1. Employers must offer the vaccine series to employees at no cost
  2. Employees are legally required to be vaccinated as a condition of employment
  3. OSHA has no requirements related to Hepatitis B vaccination
  4. Only employers, not employees, must be vaccinated
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Employers must offer the vaccine series to employees at no cost

OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires employers to OFFER the Hepatitis B vaccine series to at-risk healthcare personnel at no cost to the employee — employees, however, have the right to decline vaccination (typically requiring a signed declination form), so they are not legally mandated to accept it.
