Abstract

Healthcare workers are at an increased risk of contracting certain diseases because of the nature of their occupations. Daily contact with the weakest and most susceptible members of a community predisposes them to being an important potential vector in the transmission of diseases. In this article, recommended vaccines for healthcare workers will be discussed in general, as well those for selected healthcare workers.
