What Is Included in an Occupational Health Screening?

Every occupational health screening is based on your employer's requirements and the type of work you'll be performing. Before your visit, our providers review your paperwork to make sure you receive only the services your employer requests.

Depending on your job, your visit may include:

     Employment vaccines, including those required for workplace safety

     Immunity titers to verify protection when vaccination records aren't available

     Lab services, including blood work and pre-employment drug testing

     Work physicals to ensure you're able to safely perform your job duties

Completing these services in one visit can save time and help prevent delays before your start date.

Why Do Some Employers Require Vaccines, Titers, or Lab Testing?

Many employers require occupational health screenings to help maintain a safe workplace and meet industry regulations. These requirements are common in healthcare, education, public safety, manufacturing, and other industries where employees work closely with patients, customers, or coworkers.

If you can't locate your vaccination records, a titer test may confirm that you already have immunity. This can help you avoid receiving vaccines you may not need.

Our team can review your employer's requirements, answer your questions, and complete the necessary testing during your visit.

How Long Does an Occupational Health Screening Take?

The length of your visit depends on the services your employer requires. Vaccinations, physicals, and many workplace screenings can often be completed during a single visit. If blood work or other lab testing is needed, some results may take a few days to process.

Our goal is to make the process as efficient as possible while ensuring you leave with the appropriate paperwork and a clear understanding of any next steps.

Why Choose Urgent Care for Workplace Health Screenings?

Urgent care offers a fast, convenient option for employees who need occupational health services without the hassle of visiting multiple providers or making an appointment. From work physicals and vaccines to drug testing and lab services, AFC Urgent Care Waltham provides many of the screenings employers require in one location.

With extended hours and short wait times, it's easy to fit your visit into your schedule and get back to work sooner. Bringing your employer paperwork and any available immunization records can help make your visit even smoother.
