Final answer:
Health care workers should receive the Hepatitis B vaccination to protect against HBV infection due to potential exposure to blood and contaminated body fluids.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is recommended that all health care workers who have the potential for being exposed to blood or contaminated body fluids receive the Hepatitis B vaccination. Health-care workers are particularly at risk for HBV infection due to the potential exposure to blood or other infectious materials. Preventive measures include using personal protective equipment (PPE), adhering to strict procedures for handling needles and sterilizing equipment, and vaccination with the Hepatitis B vaccine. In the event of accidental exposure, post-exposure prophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and seeking medical attention as soon as possible are critical steps.
