I work for a dentist who didn't flat out refuse to pay for the employees Hepatitis B vaccines/boosters, but he did make the comment that he expected us all to have this taken care of before mid November. When I responded that money was really tight right now before Christmas, especially with my husband out on medical leave for 10 weeks, and could we find a really cheap place, he responded " You know, you need this for your JOB. And if you don't have this job, you wouldn't be having much of a Christmas anyways, so I would think that this would be pretty important to take care of, wouldn't you?"
After checking with some others in the medical field, including other doctors, I was told that there is an OSHA law that required employers to provide this shot free of charge to any employee who is exposed to human blood, fluids, or waste. This would obviously include me and my co-workers.
Does anyone know about this law and could help me get the info?
