Question about Hepatitis Shot and Time frame of Serologic test

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Had the Hep B series done 2001, Titer was negative it was done 2/19/18, my question is my deadline is April 18, 2018, if I get the first two doses a month apart and get the Titer done 2 weeks after 2nd dose will it show? Also keep hearing about an accelerated dose with Twinrix is acceptable. any ideas or just put off till Spring semester and apply?

Thanks

Since Hep B series takes some time to complete, most programs will admit with it in progress. You should speak to your school to verify their policy- as they can vary.

I called them yesterday they said after the first two doses to get the titer again and I should be good but everything ive read here and online say to wait 30-60 days before getting the titer done after 2nd dose.
