Title: ? for the nurses etc.
Post by tanner on Jun 18^th, 2007, 12:22pm

As most of you know I am positive for HepC and have been since Vietnam. I have been told by one of my doctors that it is imperative that I get the vaccination for Hep A and B (TwinRix).

I have made an appointment here to do so tomorrow afternoon.

My question is: As I am about to accept a job is anyone aware of complications resulting from this vaccine that would affect my ability to start work immediately?

Thanks for all responses........Tim

Google is a wonderful tool:

Hep A:
What side effects have been reported with this vaccine?
The most common side effect is a sore arm, which happens to one out of two adults and one out of five children. Less common side effects include headache (edited to add - just what a clusterhead wants to hear!), loss of appetite, low-grade fever, or tiredness. When these problems happen, they usually start 3-5 days after vaccination and usually last for one or two days. A very rare but serious side effect is a generalized allergic reaction. If this happened, it typically occurs within a few minutes to a few hours following the injection.

Hep B:
What side effects have been reported with this vaccine?
Of those children experiencing a side effect, most will have only a very mild reaction, such as soreness at the injection site (fewer than one out of three children) or low-grade fever. Adults are slightly more likely to experience such mild symptoms. Serious allergic reactions following hepatitis B vaccination are rare.

Your arm is going to be sore. The third shot is the worst. Other than that there isn't much to worry about.

El just finished the series. No complaints, other than an achy arm.

Best,

Thanks all.

From what you have googled and said I don't see anything to worry me.

I interviewed with a kip 4, went back the next day and took the personality profile computer screener with a 4/5 and still got the call today to come back for orientation tomorrow so a little headache, sore arm, low grade fever and tiredness sounds like small crap to me ;;D.

This will be my first gig involving security since......
Well I could tell ya, but then I would have to kill ya 8)

A sore arm mostly maybe a slight fever. I have had them and had no adverse reactions. I know of no other of my fellow healthcare workers who have either.
