Hep B Vaccine

It is quite possible that a course may give lifelong immunity. However, it is recommended that people (dental nurses) at continuing risk of infection should be offered a single booster dose of vaccine, once only, around five years after primary immunisation. Measurement of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) levels is not required either before or after this dose. hope this helps

How often are you meant to have your HepB done.

no one has authority, it is an ADVICE forum. im sure the lady in question will be getting all the necessary information from her employers and/or the place where she has the inoculation's , she probably just wanted some other opinions from nurses who have had them, before she spoke to her employers regarding this

Hello,
Have your tests done and if needs be contact the LOCAL authority and talk to them.
There is no "general rules" as some people are different and workplaces are different.

I am sure they will answer your questions.
No one here have the authority to do really...

you have to have a blood test and the antibody levels from your blood have to be a 100 or over

how do you know if it has worked or not? i have just finished my hep B vaccinations,

Hi

Yes my vaccine didnt work and I've had to keep having boosters.

If you don't have any contact with patients clinically or do any clinical work you shouldn't need to have hep B vaccinations.

Anybody else out there who the vaccine doesnt work on ???? Ive had 4 courses but still no antibodies.....I work as a practice manager with NO clinical work involved am I legal to work ????
