In maine we are required to have
MMR plus a Measles titer or a second vacination
Varicella (Chicken Pox) If you have no proof of contracting it.
Hep B the 3 shot series, must have a titer drawn if it has been 10 years from the series.
Tetanus (optional)
TB test one, some companies require 2 if you have never been tested
soem companies require others, like the a Flu shot."Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear" - Ambrose Redmoon

If you are looking for Hep B, I believe (but I can be mistaken) that they are required to offer it.IACOJ Agitator

Just checked my email today, sorry for the delay.
OSHA 1910.1030(f) covers the Hep B vaccination.
Specifically, 1910.1030(f)(1)(i) states that:
The employer shall make available the hepatitis B vaccine and vaccination series to all employees who have occupational exposure, and post-exposure evaluation and follow-up to all employees who have had an exposure incident.
and 1910.1030(f)(1)(ii)(A) states
Made available at no cost to the employee;
Go to http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owad...RDS&p_id=10051 to see the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.
If you see a parapraph whose title is a link, it links to an interpretation letter.
Seeing how CT is an OSHA State, your employer has to provide you with the opportunity to get a Hep B vaccine.IACOJ Agitator
