there’s that sentence about titers and vaccines and the TB that is underlined stating it must have been done by July 1st. I didn’t get results back till July 5/6th... I’m immune and had everything else done but should I worry ?

I feel like the July 1st statement was for people that may be missing there hep B vaccinations (because they take 6 months to complete the set). I don't think you have anything to be worried about.

I got mine through american heart association!

I'm doing mine through red cross on the 16th. Just have to get my tb test read on Wednesday. And a flu shot.

Yeah. I think they were talking about how long the series for hep b takes. You should be fine, unless you need all three of them.

I got my titer back and I have to take my last shot the first month of school. I didn’t have he immunity for Hep B. I talked to them and said it was fine! They said as long as I started it already! I take my second one the 16th ??‍♀️

@Ifranco2 is the cpr class BLS for health professionals?? because I almost took a regular cpr class and UIW wants a specific one
