Immunizations... Did anyone not have to provide titer results?

[MoNursetoBe]

As far as I know, I am not required to provide titer results to my school. Only documentation of the dates that I recieved all the immunizations. Does anyone else have this at there school or must you show copies of titers proving immunity? Just curious! Thanks!

School I am going to makes you show proof of Hep B series AND have a titer done afterwards.

I've had the HepB series twice. After the first series they did a titer and it didn't show antibodies, so they did it again. Luckily this time having had the series is enough..my doctor said I shouldn't get the series again because I'm probably immune; the titers just won't show it.

Proof of vaccinations OR titers were sufficient for my school, but both weren't necessary.

p.s. I have had 4 MMR shots in my lifetime and my titer still show no immunity whatsoever to measles! My MD advised against another MMR and I agreed... if I don't show immunity after 4 shots, is it healthy to just keep getting them? Fortunately, my school required proof of 2 MMR vacc OR titers, but not both. :)

I have to show proof of immunizations and if they are not available, a titer.

I have never had Hepatitis shots before, so I know I'll need those. I had an MMR in 1991 or 1992 (no record), so I'm not sure if a titer would show I am still immune...I'll be happy to take another shot if not.

I had a tetinus (sp?) in 2003, and I have documentation for that.

I don't have insurance, but I found out the health department will do these for virtually free or extremely low cost.

I had all titers done- plus the double ppd- is that what it is called?

My health insurance covered everything. - Plus a physical.
