Adults and Vaccinations

[mjw2003]

Hello,

My husband was fully vaccinated, but decided to refuse the last Hepatitis vaccination at his school because of my strong belief against vaccinations (My son and I have never been vaccinated). He is a teacher and was exposed to a student's blood yesterday (and it did have contact with his bodily fluids). This contact has us concerned, especially about Hepatitis, and it has me wondering, "should an adult who has been fully vaccinated, continue to be vaccinated if they are going to to exposed to communicable diseases? " Would the vaccinations provide immunity for him? Are there dangers in getting adult vaccinations now if he has already been vaccinated his entire life? If vaccinations are not the answer, what can we do to protect ourselves?

Thank you

Excellent questions

I have to do more research but the following question I will answer without further consideration:

There is mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and other neurotoxins and carcinogens in every vaccine.
The more that is injected into a human body the more likely the chance of damage to it.
We don't know why suddenly we have so many people with Alzheimer. Could it be from an ever increasing amount of aluminum injected into the blood?
We don't know why we have more and more cancers. Could it be the formaldehyde?
The less we poison our bodies the better chance for a healthy life we have.

ETA: This link which may be worth reading.

This contact has us concerned, especially about Hepatitis, and it has me wondering,

Why do you worry about it so much? Is the person whom your husband was in contact with Hep B positive?

We immediately think blood and hep B. But what are the chances of that happening?

Most hep B comes from shared needles or prostitution.

Would the vaccinations provide immunity for him?

A Swiss study says NO. There is NO protection from Hep B due to being vaccinated against it. There is a slight chance but the protection is very short lived.

Most multi dose injections are done because we don't know what amount of vaccine we need to confer any chance of immunity.
Vaccines are guess work based on theory.

How old is the student? Is the student at risk for Hep B? The student was more than likely vaxed for Hep B in the first place. If vaccines work then the vaxed student wouldn't have Hep B and you shouldn't be concerned in the first place.

I sliced my finger open on a paper cutter in high school. The teacher came and put a towel on my hand. No one knew Hep B existed, no one thought about it, no one was concerned about it. I find it amazing that now that there is a vax everyone is afraid of something they never knew existed. The majority of people lived normal, heb b free lives and still washed and bandaged cuts of students or children.

I am sure everything will work out fine. Good luck,

According to CDC data -

there were 8,817 total cases of hepatitis A and 3,714 cases of hepatitis B reported in the United States in 1993.

Of these, only 456 cases of hepatitis A occurred in children under 5 years old (or 5.2% of the total cases) and only 7 cases of hepatitis B in the same age group (or only 0.2 % of total cases).

Of those children between 5 and 9 years of age, there were 1,066 cases of hepatitis A (12.1% of the total cases) and 15 cases of hepatitis B (0.4% of the total cases).

Of the 22 hepatitis B cases occurring in children under 9 years of age, only 21% required hospitalization; further, no deaths resulted from infection in the 0-14 year old age group.

The number of hospitalizations for hepatitis A in the infant to 14 year old age category were 10.6% and only 0.2% died.

The justification for vaccination of infants was made by the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee in 1991 because children are accessible.

Thank you for the responses. I wouldn't normally be so concerned with the blood and fluid contact with children, except that my husband teaches high risk kids with emotional and behavior problems that come from families with introvenous drug users and prostitutes as parents. These children are at risk for these diseases. I probably should have mentioned this in the first place, and that is where the concern lies. I personally don't believe that vaccinations work (but my husband does) and I certainly don't live in fear that we will contract one of these diseases. Actually, I believe that my son and I are stronger because were never vaccinated. I am more concerned with my husband's health than my own because I think his immune system has been weakened by all the vaccinations he has received. I suppose adding more poison to his body is not the answer. I posted because I was curious if there was any validity to the claim that this vaccination works for adults. Thanks again for the info.

before becoming a Mom I was a Respiratory Therapist specializing in intensive care, sick, sick, sick, on life support patients. I've had secretions (often bloody secretions...) from HIV+, Hep+, MRSA, VRE, You-name-it positive patients spewed in my face so many times I can't keep count. I've never contracted any of the stuff and never took the hard-core drugs that we're recommended after exposure. I think this stuff is much harder to get than suggested and likely needs much more contact - not a quick splash that's wiped off. I think the reason it is easily transmitted by sex is if you think about it , the persons fluids remain on your body (usually) for quite awhile (ok, at least 15 minutes or more I'd say...) which gives it more time to do it's thing vs. just a few seconds of contact....

I would recommend he get a titer vs. another booster - his titer may show that he's already at full reactivity (meaning has the antibodies and needs no further boosters) then you won't have to worry either way....
