The tetanus shot is what they call a trivalent booster

It has 3 components: Tetanus, diptheria and pertussis

I'm surprised you didn't have immmunity to rubella or measles and mumps

I had to have a TB test to voluteer at the hospital, and my husband gets one every year too

I think it's required for health care workers by the CDC

Fortunately, he's never been positive, which is a miracle, considering what he's been exposed to over the years

Last year he stuck himself with a dirty needle that the tech had left in the bedclothes of a patient he was working on

He gathered up the bloody bed clothes, and the needle went right through his gloved hand

He had to go on anti-viral medication for like 6 weeks

The meds made him very sick!

He was tested for HIV and Hep C again at 6 months, and it was negative, thank goodness!

What kind of nurse do you want to be?

Michael did a rubella titer on me before we started trying to have kids

I don't know it that was required, or just his paranoia

Yes, HIV test when you get pregnant too

That was voluntary when I was pregnant though, but I opted to have it done

I'm old enough to have had the small pox vaccine when I was little

You can always tell people born before around 1973 (When I think they stopped giving it), because they have these round pocky scars in their upper arms, LOL

Both Michael and I have one

And none of my kids have immunity

Yes, Group B strep

I remember that

My sister was positive and had to take a dose of antibiotics in labor

And they do a blood test for - Rh factor, too

Even though Michael and I both have 0+ blood, they still tested me

I always sort of wondered if they were covering their butts in the event that my husband was not actually the father, LOL

Matthew gets the meningitis vaccine next Summer

Now he's had the tetanus booster, so he's good to go on that

Matthew just called me on Michael's cell to tell me that he went off the high diving platform head first
