About Hepatitis B booster

2025-02-06 01:51:45
I had taken 0,1,2 the quicker schedule of Hepatitis B (as mentioned in the leaflet of Engerix B vaccine) in year 2000 & followed with a booster dose 1 year later in 2001. I took another booster of Hepatitis B vaccine in 2023 of Serum Institute. Will that give me protection? My family had taken 3 injections each as per schedule 0,1,6 in 2000. But they haven't taken any boosters. Since it's over 24 years, should they be given a single booster dose of Hepatitis B vaccine or again whole course?

Yes, it should suffice. Also, is there a high risk or exposure for you? Based on that future vaccination or antibody check is needed.

Hello, ok so it's been a long time after they got vaccinated for it right?
Next Steps
It's better they go for booster doses now. Single dose shall be fine rather than repeating the whole course.
