The Hepatitis B Vaccination
The Hepatitis B Vaccine is one of the most important ways to prevent infection. About 90% of people who receive it get immunity.
The present recombinant vaccine is made by genetically altered bakers yeast and contains no blood components. It is very safe.
Side effects are minimal. Symptoms such as temporary soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or joint pain may occur but are rare.
The procedure consists of three shots in the upper arm given over a six month period.
The OSHA standard requires that employers provide the vaccine free of charge to you if your occupation puts you at risk. You may decline the vaccine; but you will be asked to sign a Declination Statement.
