Hi Gina,
I already responded to the earlier poll. I am A- with two A+ children and have had Rhogam. A person in one of my classes in college had Hepatitus and it was suggested that we receive a Gamma Gobulin injection which I did.
Hope this helps,
Barbara H.

P.S. Gina, here is another interesting connection for your research. Sometime between 1974-78 there was a flu scare like the current bird flu and a flu shot was develeoped and given. I remember getting it, but I don't remember the name of the flu. From what I remember the flu never really materialized but there was concern that getting the shot could have consequences in the future. Have you ever heard about that incident. I think you may be too young to remember the scare.
