Got my lab results back today.... And I'm non-reactive to Hep B. Now I have to get the three vaccine series and get blood drawn all over again. $200 dollars down the drain
Uhg. I was doing so well completing my clinical requirements, this was my last one!!
Has this happened to anybody else? Any idea what can cause this to happen? I'm scared that if I don't show immunity next time, I'm going to be at high risk for contracting Hep B as a nurse...
I could use some words of encouragement. It's been a bad week
Same thing just happened to me. They told me they would call Monday (yesterday) if anything was abnormal. I didn't receive a phone call so I figured everything was good. I called them today to schedule an appointment for my physical, and while i had them on the phone i asked about my results just to double check. She starts going down the list "varicella. Reactive. Rubella. Reactive. Measles. Reactive. Hep B. Oh darn, non-reactive."
I'm surprised your school requires you to repeat the entire series. At my school I just need a booster when I go in for my physical and they'll go ahead and give me my clearance w/o the titer/full series. A month later I can go back in for another titer, and if it doesn't show conversion, then I can go through the series. But I get my clearance for the program after just getting a booster.
Wow I'm jealous! I'm due for my second shot on Monday. Then I have to get the third in December, and blood drawn in January. If I'm sill not reactive, I'm supposed to sign a waiver, and I'm encouraged to get another booster. I'm praying I'll be reactive!!!!
