Well I am unable to donate blood due to the Gulf War. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Ketsdever [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 11, 2005 11:12 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: To the Veterans on the list
If you served in the military you know you were given a lot of vaccinations. Do you know what those vaccinations were? I donate blood frequently (6 gallons last year) and was recently told that I have Hep B antigens in my system. The doctor assured me I do not have Hep B, ( I have since gone to my doctor for Hep A, B, and C tests, I am clean) but having the antigens in my system is a strong indication that I was probably vaccinated for Hep B. The bottom line is the Hep B antigens have a tendency to create a false positive test result while screening blood and I have now been permenantly deferred from ever donating blood again. Does anyone know if the Hep B vaccination was one of those vaccinations we received in the military?
