Immunisations and vaccinations
Everyday life puts people at risk of a variety of infectious diseases. Where a vaccination exists for a disease that can affect the whole population, it is normally given as a part of a national programme. However, work can put employees at greater risk of exposure to particular infectious diseases. Therefore the employer is obliged to take measures to protect the health and safety of those employees who are at risk. Further details can be found below.
