A few days ago I got vaccinated with the Twinrix Adult jaundice vaccine. At the time of vaccination, my throat was dry, my throat was scratchy, and my throat was generally weak. All this worsened after vaccination. Symptoms resolved after taking Therafl overnight. Does this have any impact on the effectiveness of vaccination? Can I take the 2nd dose a month after the first?
Vaccination against jaundice is a series of vaccinations consisting of three doses given at specified intervals - after the first dose, the next one is given after 1 month and another 5 months after the second dose. The effectiveness of vaccination can be determined after completion of the vaccination course, and the exact way to determine this effectiveness is to measure the anti-HBs antibody titer. In 95% of those vaccinated, they get a titre that protects them from getting sick. I encourage you to contact your GP to find out about further immunization.
