The CDC recommends two doses of chickenpox vaccine for those who don't have lab-demonstrated immunity, reliable history of chickenpox or shingles, or history of two vaccines.
Because current tests don't do an adequate job of identifying antibodies resulting from immunization, the CDC does not recommend post-vaccine titers for anyone, including health care workers. So, at this time, the answer to your question is "never."

Varicella Zoster IgG is an antibody that indicates past infection with the varicella zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, or vaccination against it. The presence of IgG antibodies suggests that the individual has immunity to the virus, either from having had chickenpox or from receiving the varicella vaccine. Testing for Varicella Zoster IgG can be important for assessing immunity in pregnant women, healthcare workers, or individuals considering vaccination.
BCG i.e. bacille Calmette Guerin vaccine used to prevent tuberculosis and also given to prevent compications like such as meningitis in many countries ( not in US). The BCG vaccine confers a positive PPD skin test result but appears to protect only about half of those inoculated
The tuberculosis vaccine, known as the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, is typically given to infants and young children in countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis. It can also be administered to certain high-risk groups, such as healthcare workers or individuals with compromised immune systems. In general, the vaccine is most effective when given before exposure to the bacteria. For specific recommendations and timing, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider or local health guidelines.
National Union of Healthcare Workers was created in 2009.
OSHA does not specifically require the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine for workers. However, certain industries, particularly healthcare, may recommend or require vaccinations, including Tdap, to protect employees and patients from infectious diseases. Employers are encouraged to follow guidelines from the CDC and other health authorities regarding vaccinations to ensure workplace safety.

No, there should not be any correlation between the new healthcare bill and healthcare workers wages. The healthcare bill is particularly focused on the uninsured and the inflating insurance industry costs.
Yes, there is a vaccine for hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is highly effective in preventing infection. The vaccine is typically administered as a series of shots and is recommended for infants, at-risk adults, and healthcare workers. For those already infected with HBV, antiviral treatments are available that can help manage the infection and reduce the risk of liver disease and complications. However, there is currently no complete cure for chronic HBV infection.
Immediate chickenpox immunization clinics, strict handwashing, cough hygiene, and restricting return of sick school community members until all lesions are scabbed can stop the spread of chickenpox within a school.
