Hep B Vaccination Question

Published

:o So I'm kickin my own orifice (in my best Jim Carey voice) cause Tuesday I received my 1st Hep B vaccination in the series that takes 6 months. Then yesterday, I figured out that my program wants the series COMPLETE by January.

It is possible to switch to the fast track Hep B vaccination when it is time for my second shot next month?

If not, the CDC info sheets the last dose can be administered as early as 4 month from 1st shot. Is there any place in Houston, TX that would actually administer it that early?

Thank you for any advice.

I got my first one at a CVS Minute Clinic and the NP told me to come back one month after the first shot for the 2nd shot, then 4-6 months after the first shot for the 3rd shot. I think you'll be cutting it close but you'll make it!
