I am scared to death to take the Hep B vaccine. But I am a new nurse and I start my job in a LTC facility tomorrow. I know and I have read all the good things about it, even talked to my doc about being afraid and he reassured me. BUT I am having major panic attacks tonight as I have to take it tomorrow. Major panic attacks...palpitations, SOB, etc. Can you all reassure me even more? Do you know anyone that the vaccine affected badly...made really really sick. SHould I take acetaminophen 30 mins before the injection?
I am scared to death.
