The Mount Sinai Hospital Prospective Staff Immunization and Surveillance Policy, is based upon the OMA/OHA Communicable Disease Surveillance Protocols for Ontario Hospitals.  The purpose of the policy is to minimize risk of exposure and possible transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases to staff and patients.

You must submit the completed Staff Immunization and Surveillance Policy information sheet to the Occupational Health and Safety department no later than noon (12:00pm) on the Thursday before your potential start date.

You will not be allowed to start work without OHS confirming that this condition has been met. Mount Sinai Hospital is not responsible for any costs associated with securing documents required to satisfy this policy. MSH recognizes that prospective staff may have legitimate reasons related to the Human Rights Code for not having the required vaccinations.  If this is the case, you must notify OHS of your request for accommodation.  In these cases, the MSH Accommodation Policy will be followed.

In preparation for your first day at Mount Sinai Hospital, the following items need to be read, filled out and brought with you.
