Hep B Booster

I had my hep b series about ten years ago, had the titer done for school and it was positive. I know with my school, if it's negative; you have to get the booster, then a titer

Later on. But as long as you get the booster before starting the program, they'll accept the titer after the program starts.

I asked if I could just prove that I am starting a new series and they said no. I have to prove immunity before I can start so I'm praying the booster works

I had to get the titer 30 days post. But we also had the right to refuse the HepB. No refusal on MMR or Varicella

There is a fast track option for Hepatitis B if the booster doesn't work. You just have look it up and find in your area. I have a friend who did all 3 shots in a week or two. I can't remember how long it took exactly...but definitely within a couple of weeks.

wow I did not know about this!! Thank you for this information! I will be looking into this!

I am interested finding out more about this. Wil these doses be valid per CDC? Where exactly should I look for this (may come in handy)?

I would be very cautious of anything outside CDC recommendations.

check their website for a publication called "Hepatitis and Healthcare Personnel"

The only one I saw approved for accelerated administration is twinrx which is HepA & HepB combo.

We just have to have our first dose done by sept. I'm confused why you have to have a titer done if a doc signs off that he is immunizing you. That's all I have to do. I just had a titer drawn yesterday for Hep B. It take 48 hours for results and if I'm not immune just have to start the series.

I don't know anything about the fast track option except I have a friend who did this and was excepted into the radiology program at the school where I am starting nursing. She said the college accepted it, so maybe you can check with your college.

What about Heb A?

There is a certain portion of the population that never converts and thus never show antibodies --- surely there are other options in your program than a requiring a positive titer
