As an essential component of the West Coast University
infection-control program immunizations and tuberculosis clearance
documentation is required in accordance with current Center for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and OSHA recommendations and
guidelines for Health-Care Personnel. Below are health
certification details which are subject to change as required by
OSHA and CDC.Immunizations - based on the CDC Recommended
Immunizations for Health-Care Personnel (HCP),all HCPs must submit
documentation of immunization to Hepatitis B (HB) (series of three
doses with anti- HBs serologic testing 1-2 months after dose #3),
proof of immunity to Hepatitis B, or a signed declination; Measles,
Mumps, Rubella (MMR); Varicella (chickenpox); and Tetanus,
diphtheria, pertussis (booster every 10 years). Highly recommended
immunizations for the HCP include COVID-19, Influenza (yearly),
Hepatitis A, and Pneumonia. For some individuals, a titer test will
be indicated vs. vaccinations. Titer tests showing immunity to
listed pathogens are acceptable. Titer tests showing a negative
response require appropriate immunizations and follow-up titers
must be completed and submitted. If one or more of the listed
immunizations are contraindicated, documentation must be submitted
clearly identifying the reason(s). Clinical laboratory reports with
facility stamp and medical doctors signature are
required.Tuberculosis Clearance the CDC Guidelines for Preventing
the Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care
Settings are intended to protect the HCP and patients.Two Options
(consult with supervisor for specific program requirements)(1) The
TB screening program consists of two major components: (1) baseline
single test for M. tuberculosis infection and (2) serial
testing/screening for M. tuberculosis infection. The HCP must have
a baseline single test followed by serial skin testing once per
year. If the HCP has a baseline positive result or has previously
had a positive result, a chest radiograph must be completed to
exclude a diagnosis of TB disease. Thereafter, every year the HCP
must receive a symptom screen.(2) The TB blood test (also called
interferon-gamma release assays or IGRAs) measures how the immune
system reacts to the bacteria that cause TB. An IGRA measures how
strong a persons immune system reacts to TB bacteria by testing the
persons blood in a laboratory. IGRAs are the preferred method of TB
infection testing for people who have received bacille
CalmetteGurin (BCG) as this is a vaccine for TB disease. There is
no problem with repeated IGRAs. Two IGRAs are approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are available in the United
States: (1) QuantiFERONTB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT) and (2)
T-SPOT.TB test (T-Spot). Positive IGRA: This means that the HCP has
been infected with TB bacteria. Additional tests are needed to
determine if the HCP has latent TB infection or TB disease. A
health care worker will then provide treatment as needed. Negative
IGRA: This means that the HCPs blood did not react to the test and
that latent TB infection or TB disease is not
likely.KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE:One year or less experience in teaching
in a university or college setting required as defined by
Universitys faculty handbook.Working knowledge of Microsoft Office
Suite Products, especially Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and other MS
office products as needed.Working with online learning management
systems to further engage the student learning process
