DTP (i have 6 on my immunization record) 2. TD (tetanus/diphtheria adult)3. MMR (2 on my record)4. OPV (polio, i have 4 on my record.)5. HepB (i did the 3 series, but i am no longer immune.)Skin testsPPD (?) (2 on my record.)I am 21 and the most recent of all these shots was on 1999. The earliest was 2 months after i was born in 1987.are there any other shots i need to work in healthcare? i just want to make sure that i am prepared going out there. and someone, please exp! lain what TB is. is it going to be a vaccine? or is it that little bubble thing?thank you so much....Show moreanswers 1:You will need another Td, or preferably a Tdap- that has pertussis (whooping cough) in it. It is recommended for healthcare workers. Not sure what you mean when you say you are not immune to Hep b anymore. If you were tested soon after vaccination and were immune, then you are still immune. If you were never tested after vaccination because you were immunized as part of routine childhood vaccination, then testing at this point is not recommended as measurable antibody levels tend to fall with time even with continued protection. However if you do choose to get another series of three shots, make sure you get tested 1-2 months after the series is complete.You will also need a recent TB skin test (there is no vaccination)....answers 2:You might need Hep A.TB is the little bubble thing, its just a test to see if you have it and working in health care, yo! u'll be tested once a year. there is no vaccine for TB. TB is! tuberculosis which is a highly contagious and sometimes dangerous respiratory illness....answers 3:i'm undecided what sort of vaccine you acquire. i presumed you had to get an chest x-ray after a favorable attempt and then initiate antibiotics. show your mum and dad. you're able to call or see the well being practitioner back if that's been 3 weeks and nonetheless crimson and painful. frequently vaccine web content are basically painful for some days at maximum.
