Transmission of disease in health care settings although uncommon, has known to occur and it is important that policies are in place to enhance the safety of the environment for both health care workers and the patients. The pre-employment investigation and vaccination will assure the safety of the service given to the patients and the safety of the health care workers at the same time.
