I
think you will find that you cannot be denied employment because of your
immunization ststus. Have you had your titre [or whatever] checked? You
may find you have antibodies to Hep B anyway, I have, and have never been
immunized. Maureen.
I know that vaccination is an emotive issue,
and usually I keep my own convictions quiet, but has anyone been refused
employment because they are not vaccinated? I have been working in nursing now
for ten years, four of those in the field of midwifery and I have never had a
problem with my personal decision, carried on from that of my parents when I
was a child, not to be vaccinated but to use natural methods of protecting my
immune system. However, there was a big scare (a healthcare worker was
diagnosed with Hepatitis B and they recalled all the mothers and babies that
had been in contact with the individual for testing) at a public hospital
where I wish to seek casual employment. Hepatitis B vaccination is a now not
just a recommendation but a condition of employment, I am still making
enquiries re conscientious objection, but wondered if anyone had any
experiences in this area.
