5 Hepatitis B Vaccine Recombinant Hepatitis, the disease is a vital infection caused by hepatitis B virus (BV) which causes death in 1-2% of affected patients. Most people with hepatitis B recover completely; but approximately 5-10% become chronic carriers for the virus. Most of these people have no symptoms but can continue to transmit the disease to other. Some may develop chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis. HVB also appears to be a causative factor in the development of liver cancer. Thus immunization against hepatitis B can prevent acute hepatitis and also reduce sickness and death from chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The vaccine is produced from highly purified yeast cells. Recombinant HBV is not recommended in the presence of hypersensitivity to yeast or any component of the vaccine. This vaccine has been extensively tested for safety in chimpanzees and for safety and efficacy in large scale clinical trials with human subjects. A high percentage of healthy people who receive the recommended three doses of vaccine achieve high levels of surface antibody and protection against other agents such as hepatitis A virus, non-b or other virus known to infect the liver. Full immunization requires three doses of vaccine over a six-month period, although some people may not develop immunity even after three doses. There is no evidence that the vaccine has ever caused hepatitis B; however, because of the long incubation period, HBV people who have been infected with HBV prior to receiving the vaccine may go on to develop clinical hepatitis is spite of immunization Duration of immunity is unknown at this time. The vaccine is free of association with human blood or blood products and is not recommended for pregnant individuals except in severe need, although risk is unknown at this time. Incidence of possible vaccine side effects is very low. No serious side effects have been reported with the vaccine. A few people do experience tenderness and redness around the site of the injection. Low grade fever may occur, along with rash, nausea, mild fatigue, and back, neck, and shoulder pain. Diarrhea, abdominal cramps and dizziness also have been reported. In some patients, a delayed reaction of up to several weeks after injection may occur resulting in fever, joint pain, rash and nervous and blood system reactions. The possibility exists that more serious side effects may be identified with more extensive use. After reading the above information, please direct questions you may have to your physician and or nurse. Acknowledgement of Information /Hepatitis B Recombinant Vaccine I have read the Patient Information Statement regarding hepatitis B recombinant vaccine. My questions have been answered to my satisfaction and I have been given the option to discuss my concerns with the my physician. I understand that the college recommends that I receive the hepatitis B series of three injections required to produce immunity for my protection, however, as with all medical treatment, there is no guarantee that I will become immune or that I will not experience an adverse side effect of the vaccine. I have completed the Hepatitis B vaccine series dates: 123 I am in the process of taking the vaccine series Signature: Waiver: I understand that the educational experiences in my program may expose me to blood or other potentially infections materials and that I may be at risk to acquiring hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. I have been given the opportunity to be vaccinated with HBV. However, I decline HBV at this time I understand that by declining this vaccine, I continue to be at risk of acquiring hepatitis B. a serious disease. If in the future I continue to have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials and I want to be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine. I do not consent to be vaccinated at this time: signature_
