Non-reactive Hep B titer... what does this mean?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am TRYING to figure out my son's recent viral titers for school on

Tuesday. His Hep B Surface AG came back as 'non reactive'.

That is different from negative, right? What does this mean as far

as using the results for that good old 'proof of immunity' for the

vaccine exemption form?

My son (5) is fully vaccinated up to age 2, which means he had 3

doses of the Hep B vaccine.

Oh, also, tetanus came back in the 'indeterminate' range. Is that

considered a negative/not-immune for school purposes? He rec'd 3

DtaP shots.

Augh. This is all so frustrating. I was sure we had a mumps,

chicken pox and polio titers drawn, but they aren't in the

results. So far, he has positive immunity for rubella and rubeola.

Thanks for any input.
