Hepatitis B Immunisations

REQUEST FOR HEPATITIS B IMMUNISATIONS FOR OCCUPATION PURPOSES

GPs do not provide an occupational health service as part of their NHS responsibility nor can they provide the service to you even if it is funded by you if the patient is registered with them.

Under Health and Safety Regulations, your employer has a duty to provide a safe working environment and, therefore, appropriate health advice for those at risk of infection with Hepatitis B. We advise you to contact your employer who will be able to make arrangements with an occupational health provider for the provision of any immunisation which you may require following an appropriate assessment of the risk to which you are exposed.
