LA county SON Spring 2015

Published

I know this is little early but I will be applying in July for Spring 2015... I'm finishing up Micro this semester and will have 86 points! Anyone else lurking that's going to apply to?? Say hi :)

I got the hep b titer just in case.. And tetorifice?? Is that a requirement? I haven't looked over the papers in a couple weeks but that one seems a bit.. Random lol

Hmm..I guess Tetorifice can be declined? Boosters recommended every 10 years and I got it a few years ago from an Urgent Care, and I can't remember the location. Btw, what's the difference between titer and the actual vaccine??

A titer is a blood test that tells you if you are immune to something like something you're vaccinated against.. That's why we have to get booster shots because our body loses immunity or it just doesn't take at all.. Some programs make you get titers after being vaccinated just to make sure but they are expensive.

The nurse said I was medically cleared and I just have to hand in my financial aid paperwork on Monday and I think I will be done. I will ask about getting the badge on Monday
