Hep B Vaccination

[iahawk0578]

Hope its ok that I post this. Just wanted to first let everyone know that I am starting my EMT class next week, then this fall im going into nursing and want to do emergency nursing.

Anyway, this morning I had my second round of my Hepatitis B vaccination so I can do clinicals in the hospital this summer. I have now had flu like symptoms all day. I tried to eat something today, but have not been able to keep anything down, and now im so hungry im starting to get dizzy and starting to feel faint. I am also running a fever. But I know that if I eat something my body will not agree with it.

Im just curious, is this normal after getting the vaccination? I never had it after my first round. And I never felt/was sick before getting the shot today. Thanks.

I know this is a little off topic, but when I was in highschool, I went to Costa Rica, and prior to going it was recommended to get both HepA and HepB, even if we didn't finish the schedualed course prior to the trip, it would help. I got the first dose of HepA and the first two of HepB, but when I got back and was supposed to get the last doses, I had to have surgery, and never completed the course. I'm getting ready to start with patient care, and am wondering if I can just get the last dose, or do I need to start over, or have my titers checked, or what??? If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it. Thank you! Sorry for hijacking!
