Hepatitis B Jab

[falloutgirl]

Do you just go to your doctor to get the jab and is it free? Is there anything else I would need to know before having it?
Thanks

i think you normally have to pay for it, unless it is for work, then yyour employer will pay. nothing else you need to know, your arm may ache for a few days after having it done

Yes you do need to go to your doctor for it. There are 3 injections, at one month and then six month intervals and then there is a blood test after that. If that is insufficient, you may have to have some boosters as well. You should ask for a copy of the results afterwards as well to show your employer or whoever that you have immunity.
I was able to get mine for free on the NHS, but it depends which surgery you go to since some of them do make you pay. It's about �30 if you do have to pay.

Once you've had it done, you become valuable to the blood donor service as a plasma donor. They can use your plasma to make more vaccine.
