Below is the most current information about vaccination recommendations & requirements and reporting requirements of both the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and OSHA. Note that most of these are recommendations, not requirements.

The recommendations section does not include the new influenza requirements that were put into effect around the time of H1N1 (summer 2009). Updated information about those requirements can be found here:
