This is to certify that I have been informed about the symptoms and the hazards associated with these viruses, as well as the modes of transmission of bloodborne pathogens. I have been given the opportunity to be vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine, at no charge to myself. In addition, I have received information regarding the Hepatitis B (HBV) vaccine. Based on the training I have received, I am making an informed decision to accept the Hepatitis B (HBV) vaccine.
DECLINATION:

I understand that by declining this vaccine, I continue to be at risk of acquiring Hepatitis B, a serious disease.

no charge to me.
