Reports of Activities for Occupational Infection Prevention Followed by Vaccinations

Abstract

  For the prevention of occupational infection, serological screening for antibodies to measles, varicella, rubella, mumps and hepatitis B was performed followed by vaccinations for the health-care workers, non-health-care workers and students in our hospital. As a result, the seropositivities to measles, varicella, and rubella increased to more than 90%, but that to mumps increased to only 80.0%. Although the seropositivity to hepatitis B among health-care workers rose to around 80%, that of the newcomer men/women and students remained relatively low, suggesting that the vaccination program at the school is insufficient. Our division can produce the antibody lists immediately because all data is stored. In the future, the problem is the follow-up for vaccination-prohibited cases and failure cases after the second vaccination.
