FDA is not approving a new Hepatitis B vaccine for adults, citing the new adjuvants could cause autoimmunity. I have long-suspected the Hep B series I had in college when I was a health care worker, and I opted out of it for my daughter.
I suspect required vaccines like Hep B may explain the seemingly higher rates of autoimmune diseases among nurses and other health professionals. No other adults are required to get it on a systematic basis.

For once, FDA does the right thing on Hep B vaccine

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Lately it just makes me crabbier & difficult to live with! I wish I were only joking when I say that.
Long, long ago (late 70's to be exact) when I had just graduated from nursing school I read an article about Crohn's disease and in it was a statement about a propensity for Crohn's among nursing school students and it was thought it was brought on by the stress in school. I could believe that. It would be interesting to know if it is true.
Nursing students now are required to get a whole slew of vaccinations that my generation of nurses never had to have.

I am sure there are lots of professions that are stressful, but I also have a theory that certain personality types are attracted to certain professions. It has been my experience that females who went into nursing during the 60's, 70's and even into the 80's, tended to be people who took on a lot of stress and did not know how to manage it well.
I think the same could be said about returning vets for different reasons, but it seems to me that there is a particular personality type that are attracted to high stress situations where they must "bury" their feelings. I think you tend to find that there are a lot more physical manifestations of stress in those groups of people.
