Immunity problems on CNA physical, any input helps

So I'm currently in my certified nursing assistant program, I start my clinicals in less than two weeks and I have all of my physical requirements completed. My titers came in from the lab today and turned out that I am not immune to hepB, measles, mumps, rubella, etc. I know there have been large groups who have gotten janky vaccines in the past but I was born in 96 and had all of my child immunizations and immunizations before high school. Doc is thinking I should possibly see an immunologist. Any thoughts? Ps I'm a healthy individual otherwise, I do get regular bouts of strep and have some GI problems but I eat healthy and exercise regular. At a perfectly healthy weight. Thanks!

Follow up with your PCP/see the immunologist if that is his recommendation. We can't really provide you with any other advice as it would border on/be offering medical advice which is against TOS.

Discuss if he feels you need to get the labs rechecked. I knew I was immune and came back not immune. I couldn't have vaccines at the time. So the physician had the labs redone. Rare occurrence.

Alert your school. There is a segment of the population that never has positive titers and hence those that covert offer protection to those who don't/can't

Here's one protocol:
