Hepatitis Vaccinations
Hepatitis vaccinations are a voluntary service made available to every firefighter throughout Kentucky. The Kentucky Fire Commission has an agreement with the Department for Public Health, whereby local health departments who administer Hepatitis A & B vaccines to firefighters bill the Fire Commission directly for the purchased cost of the vaccines plus an administration fee.
Persons interested in this service must be an active firefighter on a department roster on the date the vaccine is provided in order for the Fire Commission to make payment to the health department. Firefighters must present a completed Hepatitis A & B Voucher to the health department at each of the three vaccinations in the series. The voucher is required for the Fire Commission to process payment; if a voucher is not presented, and the vaccine is administered, the fire department will be responsible for payment of that does.
The Kentucky Fire Commission does not reimburse for the Hepatitis A or B titer test or the booster shot.
