<br />APPENDIX A TO SECTION 1910.1030—HEPATITIS
<br />B VACCINE DECLINATION (MANDATORY)
<br />I understand that due to my occupational
<br />exposure to blood or other potentially infec-
<br />tious materials I may be at risk of acquiring
<br />hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. I have
<br />been given the opportunity to be vaccinated
<br />with hepatitis B vaccine, at no charge to my-
<br />self. However, I decline hepatitis B vaccina-
<br />tion at this time. I understand that by de-
<br />clining this vaccine, I continue to be at risk
<br />of acquiring hepatitis B, a serious disease. If
<br />in the future I continue to have occupational
<br />exposure to blood or other potentially infec-
<br />tious materials and I want to be vaccinated
<br />with hepatitis B vaccine, I can receive the
<br />vaccination series at no charge to me.
