Mistakenly getting an extra Hep B immunization
I can't tell you the side effects but working in a poverty school we often
have kids that accidentally have extra shots OR have them too close so they HAVE to have a 4th Heb B shot. The nurse at school (not a typical school nurse), doesn't think that it would be an issue as the parents who have had them too close question the same thing. I certainly would check with the local university maybe and ask to speak to the department of infectious diseases (which is what it is supposed to be suppressing). See what the chairman's take on it might be. They truly are usually up to speed on the information. I think that I would not go into a great detail except for telling him that you know of a child that had a 4th Hep B shot and what are the long term effects of "extra" shots. Shirley "Leslie" wrote in message ... This is totally OT, but I'm wondering if anyone has any information I could pass on to my sister. She and her family live in BC, Canada. Her son was mistakenly given the shot for Hepatitis B immunization at school when he had already received the set of 3 shots here in the states. Needless to say, my sister is quite upset since she had filled out the "refuse" paperwork. So My question...does anyone know of any side effects of such a thing? All she has found so far are possible side effects getting the immunization in general, but not getting an extra one. If it's important to this question, he also has a genetic disorder, Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone disease) and was born with a cleft palate. Thanks in advance. -- Leslie Alex and Jordan, 06 May 2000 |
