What must an employee do to waive their right to receive the hepatitis vaccine?

To waive the right to receive the hepatitis vaccine, an employee must sign a waiver. This process is important as it serves to document that the employee has been informed about the benefits and risks associated with the vaccine but has chosen to decline it. Signing a waiver indicates that the employee understands their decision and acknowledges any potential risks of not being vaccinated against hepatitis.

While there may be consent forms or written requests involved in other contexts, the specific requirement for waiving the vaccine right hinges on the formal acknowledgment that the employee will not be receiving the vaccine, which is encapsulated in a waiver. This helps protect both the employer and the employee by ensuring that the decision to opt-out is made with full awareness of the implications.
