Documentation of negative CXR within 12 months prior to placement will be accepted for clearance to work. WFM shall be symptom
screened for TB annually.
If IGRA is positive during testing in Section D above, send for a CXR. If CXR is negative, WMF is cleared to work. Documentation of
negative CXR within 12 months prior to placement will be accepted for clearance to work. WFM shall be symptom screened for TB
annually.
If WFM have a documented history of active TB, send for a chest x-ray (CXR). If CXR is negative, WFM is cleared to work.
Documentation of negative CXR within 12 months prior to placement will be accepted for clearance to work. If documentation is
supported, WFM is cleared to work. WFM shall be symptom screened for TB annually. Record documentation result in this section.
If WFM have a documented history of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment, send for a chest x-ray (CXR). If CXR is negative,
WFM is cleared to work. Documentation of negative CXR within 12 months prior to placement will be accepted for clearance to work.
If documentation is supported, WFM is cleared to work. WFM shall be symptom screened for TB annually. Record documentation

IMMUNIZATION DOCUMENTATION HISTORY
Documentation of immunization or adequate titers will be accepted. If WFM is not immune against communicable diseases as listed in this section,
WFM shall be immunized (unless medically contraindicated). WFM who declines the vaccination(s) must sign the mandatory declination form. WFM
who declines the vaccination(s) may be restricted from patient care areas of the hospital or facility. If WFM is non-immune or decides at a later date
to accept the vaccination, DHS or WFM contract agency will make the vaccination available.
Documentation of laboratory evidence of immunity or laboratory confirmation of disease will be accepted OR documentation of two
doses (live measles, mumps and varicella) and one dose of live rubella virus vaccine. Measles vaccine shall be administered no
earlier than one month (minimum 28 days) after the first dose. Mumps second dose vaccine varies depending on state or local
requirements. Varicella doses shall be at least 4 week between doses for WFM. If Equivocal, WFM needs either vaccination or re-
draw with positive titer. DHS-EHS must be notified if WFM does not demonstrate evidence of immunity.
Td – After primary vaccination, Td booster is recommended every 10 years. If unvaccinated WFM, primary vaccination consists of 3
doses of Td; 4-6 weeks should separate the first and second doses; the third dose should be administered 6-12 months after the
second dose.
Tdap should replace a one time dose of Td for HCP aged 19 though 64 years who have not received a dose of Tdap previously. An
interval as short as 2 years or less from the last dose of Td is recommended for the Tdap dose.
All WFM who have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials shall have a documented post vaccination
antibody to Hepatitis B virus, HBsAb (anti-HBs). Hepatitis B vaccine series is available to WFM. Non-responders should be
considered susceptible to HBV and should be counseled regarding precautions to prevent HBV infection and the need to obtain HBIG
prophylaxis for any known or probable parenteral exposure to HBsAg positive blood.
Seasonal influenza is offered annually to WFM when the vaccine becomes available.
This form and its attachment(s), if any, such as medical records shall be maintained and filed at non-DHS/non-County workforce
member’s School/Employer. The School/Employer shall verify completeness of DHS-Employee Health Services (EHS) form(s) and
ensure confidentiality of non-DHS/non-County WFM health information.
Upon request by DHS-EHS, the non-DHS/non-County WFM School/Employer shall have this form and its attachment(s) readily
available within four (4) hours.
All workforce member health records are confidential in accordance with federal, state and regulatory requirements.
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits employers and other entities covered by GINA Title II from requesting or
requiring genetic information of an individual or family member of the individual, except as specifically allowed by this law. To comply with this law, we
are asking that you not provide any genetic information when responding to this request for medical information. “Genetic information,” as defined by
GINA, includes an individual’s family medical history, the results of an individual’s family member’s genetic tests, the fact that an individual or an
