Vaccine Requirements
Johns Hopkins University requires all faculty, staff, and students to receive the seasonal flu vaccine. Exceptions to the flu vaccine requirements may be provided to individuals for religious beliefs or medical reasons. Requests for an exception must be submitted to the JHU vaccination registry. New hires with start dates after the required vaccination deadline and during the designated flu season must be fully vaccinated before their start date to begin working.
For positions in clinical areas or laboratories, or for those that involve work with research subjects or community contact, the pre-employment physical requires a TB screening at least six weeks before your start date. TB screening can be a negative PPD test or an IGRA (T-spot or Quantiferon blood test). A chest X-ray may be required if your TB screening is positive. Documentation of immune status against rubella (German measles), rubeola (measles), mumps, varicella (chickenpox), and hepatitis B, and documentation of having received the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination is required. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines, two (2) varicella vaccines, or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers.
Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office. An applicant who chooses to have his or her own practitioner complete the above requirements is responsible for those incurred costs.
