We do not provide an occupational health vaccination service at our Practice, however CHOOSE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH do provide such a service:

Occupational Vaccination Service for your employees.

Many employees are exposed to hazards and risks and that's why Choose Occupational Health are now providing Vaccinations that can provide protection against some of these. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 you as an employer have a legal duty to protect the health of your employees. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) employers have a legal duty to assess the risk of infection for employees and others affected by your work. When the risk is known, you need to take suitable precautions to protect the health of the employee.

Common occupational vaccinations include:

• BCG
• Hepatitis B
• Influenza
• Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR)
• Tetanus, Diptheria and Polio (TDP)
• Varicella

At Choose we advise employers to implement a comprehensive occupational vaccination programme and take all reasonable steps to ensure workers are vaccinated. As a leading provider of Occupational Health services across Cumbria, we will assist clients with immunisation programmes, how to comply with guidance or legislation and how to meet the requirements under the COSHH regulations. Our experienced Lead Occupational Health Nurse will aim to deliver a cost effective service designed to meet the needs of your business.
