A member asked:
I've had all my vaccines except hepatitis b vaccine. do i need it to become a phlebotomist? if so, what are the risks of getting it?

Hepatitis B: Hepatitis b vaccine began being given to all U.S. Children in 1984. There is a blood test to make sure you are immune or not to it. There is not any risk of getting this vaccination. I would imagine that all ethical labs that employ phlebotomists would require hepatitis b immunity.
