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.
