Hepatitis B is a serious liver disease caused by a virus. Hepatitis B virus is spread through the contact with the blood and body fluids of an infected person. Hepatitis B immunization is advised for all children, especially adolescents, and adults who are at risk for acquiring the disease. (Most people are at risk.) Adolescents or adults should get three doses of Hepatitis B vaccine according to the following schedule:

If you have had chicken pox, you do not need the vaccine.

A varicella titer can determine if you have had chicken pox and if you are immune. There is a fee for this blood test.

Many of the allied health fields require the vaccine or proof of immunity prior to entrance into their programs.

Vaccination Risks

Are you concerned about health risks from any vaccine?
  • Vaccines are among the safest medicines available. Two common side effects are a sore arm or a low-grade fever.
  • A vaccine, like any medicine, is capable of causing a severe allergic reaction. However, the potential risks associated with diseases these vaccines prevent are much greater than the potential risks associated with the vaccines themselves.
  • However, if you are pregnant or are likely to become pregnant within 3 months, you should not receive the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine.
If You Have a History of Allergic Reactions

Please let us know in advance if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medication.
