Yes we have occupational vaccinations identified via our fitness for work procedure, these vaccinations are in accordance with the immunisation handbook Australia 2018.  We include the requirement for vaccinations in our position descriptions (not retrospectively). These positions are then advised to undergo vaccinations and we monitor via a centralised register (Cath).  If people do not wish to have a vaccination we have a refusal form which then triggers a individual risk assessment.  We send out reminders for those requiring updated vaccinations every quarter or so.
