Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Canadian Immunization Guide of 2006 recommends that health care employers make the hepatitis B vaccination series available to all employees as this virus can be transmitted through blood or bodily fluids and health care workers are at increased risk of exposure. Rubella and tetanus vaccines may also be recommended for certain health care workers, but not all employees would necessarily require these vaccinations. HIV antigen is not a vaccine, but rather a test used for detecting the presence of the virus.
