Hepatitis

<p>Got accepted to Boston University and require hepatitis B immunization. I have not been immunized. I plan on getting immunized tommorow, but according to the documentation, you need 3 shots. I never knew about this required shot. Im curious to know if they let students in that have not had all 3 required shots? Is it possible for me to get the first shot here, then 2 shots in the University?</p>

<p>That's something you'll need to call the university to ask -- no one here will be able to give a definitive answer.</p>

<p>the hep B series is 3 shots. if you have the first tomorrow, the second will be one month from tomorrow and the third will be 6 months from tomorrow. (maybe 7, i'm not sure if it's 6 months from the first or second). either way, you'll be done with the series before you start school next fall.</p>

<p>at my university the health clinic offered the first shot over move in weekend. as long as you start the series by the time you move in you should be ok.</p>

<p>all universities will require this. you're supposed to get it around 16-18 years old.</p>

<p>Alright, thanks, that gives me much comfort. Im leaving to school in about 2 weeks.</p>

<p>2nd shot will be in 2 months, 3rd will be in 4 months.</p>

<p>They give you a little sheet that tells you about it when they give you the first shot.
The 2nd shot needs to be 1-2 months from the 1st shot, and the 3rd shot needs to be 2 months from 2nd and 4 from the first.</p>

<p>my old school required that i needed to get those shots before starting. i have not gotten a single hep B shot since. im a junior now. har har har, suckers. </p>

<p>just liked to share a little something.</p>
