Hepatitis B vaccine

[hoosier]

Thanks to everyone that took the time to weigh in on this question.

I failed to mention that I have taught at this institution for 11 years, but I will have a new employer as of 01 July. It is not terribly reassuring to think that I have been at risk all this time.

Em - Welcome!

Our oldest son contracted Hep B from his travels in India. Between that and malaria, he was sick every month for several days, getting worse each time, finally hospitalized for days - he couldn't even hold a spoon to feed himself.
Since his initial visit to India required him to have all the vaccinations....well, I don't know.

Are you saying that he had the vaccine but still contracted Hep B?
I hope he is doing well.

When I worked as an EMT it was offered free through the town. I got the whole series of 3 shots. I like my liver and this was one that I was willing to get. I didn't have any side effects from it.
