I took the series twice and my titre would not rise.............

I was in the medical field and it was required to take it.........when I went to a new job they checked my level and it was negative so I took it again....... still negative............. I was advised NOT to take it again.

I have been told several things . One is I have a natural immunity and two there are many people out there that think they have protection and do not. The average person does not go get their titre checked after a vaccination.

I personally spoke with a Sales Rep of one the Hep C Vaccines and he could not tell me what their failure rate was............ but he did tell me there are "cases" of people it does not work on or it may have worked but does not show a titre against it..............

I hope that helps............... I will not be taking the series again.......twice is enough. Oleander
