If you don't get the full series of shots, you won't develop the immunity.  Even after getting the whole series, some people will need boosters after a few years.  \n\nI recommend borrowing the money if possible, because if you don't, you'll have thrown away what you paid for the first shot.  Good luck!

The treatment is weekly shots of pegylated interferon and daily ribavirin pills for approx. 48 weeks. The treatment response rate is between 50-80% depending on your genotype. Sorry, I don't know about compensation in England.

Within 4 to 6 days of receiving a B12 injection, most people experience an increase in their energy level or stamina.

Rashid - sorry to say, but no known cures at this time. (There is Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E.) For anyone reading this, the best way to avoid Hepatitis B (or Hep B) is to get the series of three shots (2nd shot a month after the first one, 3rd shot four months after the 2nd) over a period of six months. Any healthcare worker or anyone who comes in contact with bodily fluids (whether it's the housekeeping staff or caretakers) need to have this series of injections. \n\nCheck out these two websites for information and support:\n\nwww.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis, and\nwww.hepnet.com\n\nGod bless you and good question.\n\n(last year nursing student, Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aide)

It can take from 7 days to two weeks. Very few times, it can take longer. Go and check with your doctor if u have some kind of outbreak

No you cannot. My doctor told me that you have to wait at least 2 weeks after taking an antibiotic to get any vaccinations.

Hi check with your doctor, has your wife been vaccinated for Hep B? If not might be a good idea to have her vaccinated. I have included some info for you and some links to look at if you wish.\n\nGood luck and take care.\n\nHepatitis B - the facts\n\nThere are several viruses that can cause hepatitis and each virus is known by a letter in the alphabet, such as hepatitis B. All of the viruses cause similar problems, but they are spread in different ways. \n\nSymptoms of hepatitis B\nSome people have no symptoms at all, but for others the symptoms may include: \n\n*Loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. \n*Pain in the liver - this is felt under the right hand side of the ribcage. \n*Fever. \n*Pain in the joints. \n*Jaundice - the urine becomes darker and the eyes and skin turn yellow. \n*Tiredness.\nHow hepatitis B is spread\nHepatitis B can be spread by: \n\n*Having sexual intercourse without a condom. \n*Sharing needles, syringes and other injecting equipment. \n*Sharing razor blades and toothbrushes. \n*Piercing the skin with improperly cleaned and sterilised equipment. \n*Infected blood coming into contact with the open cuts of an uninfected person.\nHepatitis B can also be passed from an infected mother to a baby before or after birth. Giving babies hepatitis B vaccine when they are born will help protect them from the disease. . \n\nChronic carriers\nAlthough most people who catch hepatitis B recover completely and no longer have the virus in their bodies, some people have the virus in their bodies for their whole lives. These people are ‘carriers’. Approximately 10 per cent of adults and 90 per cent of children who are infected with hepatitis B will become chronic carriers of the disease. These people often show no symptoms but they can infect others, even when they look and feel well. Carriers may eventually develop liver cancer or chronic liver disease.\n\nProtecting yourself against hepatitis B\nTo help protect yourself against hepatitis B: \n\n*Get immunised with hepatitis B vaccine. \n*Use condoms for vaginal or anal sex. \n*Oral sex is normally unlikely to spread hepatitis B, however, it is best to avoid oral sex if you or your partner has herpes, ulcers or bleeding gums. \n*Do not share needles, syringes or other equipment (such as spoons, swabs and water) if you inject drugs. \n*Wear disposable gloves when cleaning up blood or administering first aid.\nIf you think you have been exposed to hepatitis B, see your doctor immediately. You can be given treatment that may greatly reduce the risk of infection.\n\nYou can be immunised against hepatitis B\nYou need three injections to be fully immunised: \n\n*The first two injections are given one month apart. \n*The third injection is given five months after the second dose.\nIf you started the course of vaccinations but did not finish them you do not need to start again, just complete the other doses.\n\nSide-effects are uncommon, but can occur soon after immunisation. They include fever, soreness at the injection site, nausea and joint pain.\n\nSome people can be immunised for free\nHepatitis B immunisation is free for: \n\n*All students in Year 7 at school. \n*All babies born after 1 May 2001. \n*Children up to ten years old who live in a household with a carrier. \n*Children up to ten years old who belong to a population group that is known to have a high carrier rate. \n*Injecting drug users via a needle and syringe program where there is a doctor or nurse vaccinator on site or from a methadone provider.\nWho should be immunised\nImmunisation is recommended for everyone and especially for: \n\n*Injecting drug users. \n*Health workers and others who come in contact with blood during their work. \n*Workers (and residents) at facilities for people with an intellectual disability. \n*Sexually active people. \n*People with other medical conditions - for example, people with other forms of hepatitis or liver disease or people who receive medical treatment with blood pr

most people have the hep b virus in their blood when they get vaccinated. if you get a vaccine, then you should show up positive for it. do you mean, what will happen if you get diagnosed with hep b?

Approximately 2-3 days after the initial exposure.

you get a large bump on the skin at the site of injection. it should be checked by a doctor or nurse in 2-3 days. sometimes people get false positives if they ever had a vaccine for it, especially in othr countries

You might bleed on and off until you get your next shot.  I know I did anyways.

U might as well go ahead and get the shots. They're recommended everywhere I think.

Usually in the arm and it doesn't hurt until AFTER the shot.  You'll find your arm will get sorer for a few hours after the shot.  However, it usually feels better the next day.

Lots of rubbish answers here, sorry Mr/Mrs Asker.\n\nIf the answerers actually read the question - the asker isn't looking for what to do normally to keep his health in check - but wants to know what to do on the occasions it goes a bit AWOL, as happens to all of us now and again.\n\nI'm type 1, so can't help you here (it seems a lot easier to deal with short term probs like this when you're on injections), but it seems you'll be better off speaking to your doc as people don't seem to be able or willing to answer.

That's not normal.  I've had the flu shot about 5 times and never once have I had an adverse affect.  There is some small percentage of people that have reactions.  You should call the nurse/doctor tomorrow, or emergency if it gets worse.  If you're allergic to eggs you can have a violent reaction.
