Bloodborne Standard
29 CFR 1910.1030
Vaccination
The term, "at no cost" prohibits the employee going on his or her own time, to repay the employer if he or she does not remain in employ for a stated period of time, or to repay the original cost of the vaccine over a period of time while employed. Vaccination must be offered during normal scheduled work hours. If it is necessary for the employee to travel away from the work area to receive the vaccination, the employer is responsible the cost. Any requirement which might result in employee cost is prohibited.
