Booster dose for Hepatitis B enquiry

2025-03-15 16:31:42
I am 25F. Had vaccination done as a child. However, when I tested now my Hepatitis B antibody level is 13 mIU/mL. Should I get a booster shot, and which vaccine (Engerix-B, Heplisav-B, or Recombivax HB) would you recommend? Also, how many mL should I take and what is the schedule?

Usually above 10 mlU/ml is considered to be protective. If you are of high risk jobs then better to take single booster dose. If not repeat the antibody after 6-9 months.
