Hepatitis B
|
Hepatitis B is a disease that can cause liver problems. You will need to get
3 Hepatitis B injections over a 4 month period or prove you have had the
injections. If you believe you have had the injections, bring your
vaccination proof to our office. If you think you had all three injections
but you have no proof, then you may get a Hepatitis B Titer drawn—this is a
blood test to prove immunity to Hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B injections cost $30.00 EACH. There are 3 injections given months
apart. You will receive your first injection at the first visit. The second
injection is due one month later. The third injection is 4 months after the
first injection AND no sooner than 2 months after the second injection.
Hepatitis B titer (lab draw) cost $7.00
You may not get the Hepatitis injections at our office if you:
- Are allergic to molds, yeast, latex or if you are allergic to any
components of the vaccination. Ask your doctor.
- Are pregnant or breast feeding. Ask you doctor.
- Are infected with any acute illness or chronic immunosuppressive
disease. Ask you doctor.
- Are on any anticoagulant medication or have a bleeding disorder. Ask
your doctor.
- Take medication, chemotherapy or radiation treatments that suppress
your immune system. Ask you doctor.
- Have had prior reaction to a Hepatitis vaccination or other related
