MMR titers came back neg--uh-oh

Published

Ahhhh! My MMR titers came back negative! I know I had both doses as a kid but apparently they didn't take. Of course that makes it so that I will only have one does before the start of class.

Has anyone else had this problem? It says that I need two doses (and I will be getting them of course) but my second dose will not come until after classes begin. Will I have to sit out a semester or do you all think I will be allowed to start clinicals given I will have had this first dose before the start of class?

I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm beside myself right now....

There were even more hoops to job through when I got hired on at the hospital. I had proof of my hep series, but the hospital wanted a pos titer. I have had three additional boosters. However if I test neg again, they will not make me get another booster. They say after the sixth injection, if you are not pos you never will be.

Just an update: they said I'm fine as long as I get them both in before clinicals. I'm so relieved, I don't know what I would have done if they didn't allow me to start.
