If in the US, this is on a state to state basis. In Tennessee, where I am, both are required, along with the Meningitus shot. The further you go into school, the more shots you will have to take. For college, all of these are required. Additional info I am in CA and ALL 6th grade students going into 7th are required to have the three hepatitis series to enroll in school. We don't require a meningitus shot ( but it isn't a bad idea). In college here I never had to show a shot record to enroll. As a teacher I only have to have a TB test every 2 years, but I got the hepatitis since the students were getting them and thought I should get them too.
