There is an excellent Lupus organisation with many free booklets etc. www.lupusuk.org.uk  and also a medical website http://medical.lupusuk.org.uk where you can download a guide for nurses and also a guide to diagnosis.
 
I have a form of lupus called Sjogrens syndrome and I still have immunisations although the medication I am means I cannot take malarial prophylaxis. So it will depend on the situation and he/she can ask their specialist/gp for advice.
 
Good luck, Greta

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] LUPUS & Hep B

Dear All,
I am looking for some advice on a case of a lab assistance who suffers with
lupus, is on medication (exact details to be verified). This person has had
the 1st dose of Hep b vaccine, no problems, and has attended for the 2nd
dose, where the OHA found out about the Lupus.
Does anyone have any information on this?
Many thanks

Tracy Bluestone
