  4. Hep b vaccine. We have been immunized?

Hep b vaccine

2020-11-10 14:53:38
My dad told me he's not sure if I have been given the hepatitis B vaccine because he's against vaccination and I'm feeling anxious right now. Isn't it compulsory to get the hep b vaccine? Can we still get the vaccine if we're above 20 years old? And is there any way we can find out if we have been immunized?

Better every one should get Hep B vaccination. Usually given to all in the 1st year by Govt and private health facilities. If not given or having any doubt you can get hep B vaccine at any age total 3 doses at monthly intervals. You can check immunization status (wether vaccine given or not )by blood test also At any age you can take it.
