All new employees are also required to show proof of immunizations and/or immunity to MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), Varicella, annual Influenza and TB QuantiFERON Gold Titer. Additionally, if you work in a HealthPoint clinic, Tdap (within last 10 years) is required. Hepatitis B. is required for clinical employees with potential exposure to blood/blood products.

• If records do not show any data, please seek guidance from your provider for further assistance.

If you receive vaccination(s) or lab titers, you may obtain them through HealthPoint at no cost to you.
