Hepatitis B

Current CDC guidelines are confusing and complex. If you have a history of having a suppressed immune system please contact the school for requirements. For those who are not immunosuppressed the CDC only recommends a three shot series be completed. Shot Series: Typically it is a 3rd shot series followed by blood work to verify results. Fastest timeline: Shot #2 is give a minimum of 30 days after shot #1 and shot #3 is given a minimum of 2 months after the 2nd.

Option 1) Must provide appropriate documentation of receiving all three immunization doses at any time prior to course due date.

* If student has records showing they have started the series but not completed all 3 shots a titer will not be accepted. Student must complete the entire series.

Option 2) If student has no proof of any hepatitis B vaccines a titer test may be completed showing immunity. A lab titer report must be provided.

NOTE: Waiver applies to only those students who completed the series and immunity cannot be obtained.
