I'm in the Netherlands, but mandatory vaccination and testing before being allowed to perform exposure-prone procedures is pretty common around the world, as far as I know.

It only makes sense, to be honest - you don't want a patient to be infected with an incurable illness if a clumsy surgeon nicks his own hand during an invasive procedure.
