I took all the shots 10 years ago when I immigarated here. Do I need to take them again or take more booster shots??

Members don't see this ad.
 
10? I thikn you only need to get 6 shots ALI. And most of them you wont even need again, such as Tetanus, if its been less than 10 years since youve had it, if its been more youll need a booster. Chicken Pox, if youve gotten it you dont need that shot. MMR you shouldnt really need either since you probably got that. So the only ones you should really need are Hepatitis B, Meningococcal, and maybe TB.
 
ALI-

Contact your school to get the specifics. At my school if you have proof of the required immunzations (ie shot records or a titer) you don't have to get them again. However, you do need a TB test six weeks prior to matriculation. You should find out soon because the Hep B is a series of three at specific intervals and it would be good to get a head start! Good luck!!
