Turkeygirl Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I had the worst night last night...ok it could have been worse but ugh. I go to bed, can't get to sleep...finally doze off and I wake up at 12:30 and felt a little sick to my stomach....took a maalox, went back to bed but kept waking uo, not feeling quite right. Actually was feeling a little off earlier in the day. I'm better today but feel blah. Yesterday morning though I did get my 3rd and final hept b shot so I'm wondering if it was that? The first one I was fine, the 2nd one I remember I was a little blah. Though there's not really any side effects that I know off minus a sore arm.... Anyone experience that with a hept shot?

Bowtech_archer07 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I got them in 6th grade and the only problems I remember was a sore arm, but that was because I kept my arm tensed b/c at that time I really really really hated shots. I don't remember feeling sick to my stomach or anything like that though.. Hope you feel better!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Safe and Effective * Medical, scientific and public health communities strongly endorse using hepatitis B vaccine as a safe and effective way to prevent disease and death. * Scientific data show that hepatitis B vaccines are very safe for infants, children, and adults. * There is no confirmed evidence which indicates that hepatitis B vaccine can cause chronic illnesses. * To assure a high standard of safety with vaccines, several federal agencies continually assess and research possible or potential health effects that could be associated with vaccines. Contraindications to Vaccine * A serious allergic reaction to a prior dose of hepatitis B vaccine or a vaccine component is a contraindication to further doses of hepatitis b vaccine. The recombinant vaccines that are licensed for use in the United States are synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (common bakers' yeast), into which a plasmid containing the gene for HBsAg has been inserted. Purified HBsAg is obtained by lysing the yeast cells and separating HBsAg from the yeast components by biochemical and biophysical techniques. Persons allergic to yeast should not be vaccinated with vaccines containing yeast. Of those children experiencing a side effect, most will have only a very mild reaction, such as soreness at the injection site (fewer than one out of three children) or low-grade fever. Adults are slightly more likely to experience such mild symptoms. Serious allergic reactions following hepatitis B vaccination are rare.

wtnhunt Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Those shots did not bother me at all Ruth. Kind of rough night here though, been feeling pretty run down and our 2 year old ended up in the bed with us around midnight, never did get back to sleep good.
