Hepatitis B Vaccine

[toninz]

Hi all. Just wondering what the minimum gap between each dose is for the other. I've had two already (one month apart), and am hoping in a month my blood work will show up that I am already immune, for nursing school (but would still get the third dose at a later date, just right now it won't fit into the time frame of what I've been told).

Is there any way to get it faster? I was told first dose, a month later second dose, and third dose six months after the first, then blood test a month after that

Thanks

I am in the process of recieving my Hep-B series. The second shot was 30 days after the

first shot. The third shot I was told is 5 months later.

First shot - May 09

Second shot - June 09

Third shot - November 09

However, when I mentioned that I have a Hep-B client in the home that I currently work

in the nurse said I could come and get the last shot as early as mid Septmeber! So I am in

that window now and need to get my third shot. Then I have to have titers drawn on just

that one shot to prove immunity.

You should talk to your doctor or whoever is giving you the vaccine.
