HEPATITIS B RISK FORM
I understand that due to my potential exposure to blood, body fluids and other potential infectious
materials I may be at risk of acquiring Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Because I have not completed
the Hepatitis B vaccination series or waived having the series, I understand that I continue to be at risk
of acquiring Hepatitis B, a serious disease.
I understand that if I experience an exposure to blood, body fluids or other infectious materials, I must
notify my preceptor and/or instructor immediately. I will be directed to the Emergency Department
where I will be offered the Hepatitis B virus immune globulin (HBIG), an injection(s). This injection
provides temporary passive immunity from Hepatitis B. I will need to continue or start the Hepatitis B
vaccination series.
By my signature below I acknowledge understanding that I (the student) am solely responsible for
payment of all services, injections, vaccinations and other costs associated with my exposure to blood,
bodily fluids or other infectious materials while in the Program even though I have not completed the
Hepatitis B vaccination series. I further understand that the College, its employees and clinical sites, will
not be responsible for any services, injections, vaccinations or other costs associated with my exposure
to blood, bodily fluids or other infectious materials while in the Program even though I have not
completed or waived the Hepatitis B vaccination series.
I have received information about Hepatitis B and the risks of exposure to blood, body fluids and other
potential infectious materials and my responsibility in reporting any incident of possible exposure.
I waive Hepatitis B vaccination at this time.
