What is Form A5 for Food Handlers?

Form A5 is the official application for health screening for first-time applicants working as food handlers in Malta. This includes anyone engaged in the preparation, manufacturing, or treatment of food intended for human consumption.

Key Medical Requirements:

Based on the latest Maltese health protocols (updated 2024/2025), the following are mandatory for your screening:

• Chest X-Ray (Tuberculosis Screening): Since Nepal is classified as a high-risk country for TB, a Chest X-Ray is mandatory. The report must be dated within 6 weeks of your application submission.
• Vaccinations & Immunity:
  • Polio & Diphtheria: You must show proof of full immunity. If records are unavailable, a booster dose is typically required.
  • Hepatitis A: A full course of the Hepatitis A vaccine is mandatory for all food handlers.
  • Typhoid: Vaccination is required and must be repeated every 3 years.
  • Measles: Proof of two doses of the MMR vaccine or a positive immunity (antibody) test is required.
• Physical Examination: A private medical doctor must examine you to exclude symptoms of skin conditions (like scabies) or water-borne illnesses (gastroenteritis).
