IMPORTANT! If you don't already have your hepatitis B vaccinations - get started now. The usual timing of vaccinations is the first shot, a 2nd in a month and a 3rd at 6 months after the 1st. If time becomes an issue, the CDC recommends an accelerated schedule of the first shot, the 2nd in 4 weeks and the 3rd at 4 months after the 1st. If you are accepted into the VN program
in Palestine, the first two Hep B vaccinations must be completed by July 1, 2008.
If you are accepted into the VN program in Kaufman, the
first two Hep B vaccinations must be completed by December
1, 2008. Due to the cost we recommend going to Outreach Clinics or the Public Health Departments.
