Does Hep B have to be renewed?

Yep I have to have a booster in 4 weeks, I think another one in a few months after that - and then I'm good for 5 years, providing I don't come in contact with any sharps, etc...

Kinda reminds me of a line from a film...""Big man scared of little prick""...

All joking aside bloody good on ya for giving blood....my wife needed three pints (bags) after her cesarean went slightly not too plan,its people like you i"ll always be indebted too.

I am pretty cheesed off at no longer being able to give blood ----- at the last session I went to ( long time ago now) they discovered dangerously high BP and dobbed me in to the medics --- they won't let me give the stuff now

I had a flu jab last year.  Didn't agree with me at all.  Made my brain go fuzzy (alright, fuzzier) and I had trouble driving the car.  Since then I've picked up every bug going - and that's a lot - the wife's a teacher and she brings them home from school, I think.

Mind you, I haven't had flu...

Yesterday at about 8pm I had a course of injections, Tetanus, Hep B, and others.
My arm feels like I can hardly move it still, and I've felt really distant and vague since.

Is this normal and will wear off? It's so long since I was jabbed I can't remember....  :-/

Your not going out for a night out with Tunnie are you??  :-/

Sorry couldnt resist

I have this each year and swear it makes me ill a couple of weeks later, my doctors disagree :-/ :-/

I know it's corny but i'm terrified of needles, can't even look at a syringe. I can bear them if i have to have one, they don't actually hurt but i can't even watch someone else having a jab on telly, really freaks me. It's the moment the needle pierces the skin i can't handle it just does me up.
     Silly as it seems when i was a kid @ school having the various jabs in the top of the left arm never bothered me.

I hate jabs but I couldn't look like a wuss in front of 17 of my peers - so I just grinned and told the doc to stick me  

He was good, kept me talking while it went in, I didn't feel a lot at the time.
