Hepatitis B vaccination
Hi, I have to send medical reports related to my university related to immunization to Hep B. I had taken vaccination for Hepatitis in 2010 but I don't remember which one(A/B/C) it was. In this case, a test or retaking the vaccination, which one would be better? And if a test, then which one, I have already taken HBsAg test.
HELLO,
HEPATITIS B VACCINE IF TAKEN THREE ONCE IN A YEAR FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS THAN IT IS EFFECTIVE.
HBsAG TEST ISN'T REQUIRED, ANYWAY
THEIR IS SEPARATE VACCINE FOR HEPATITIS B AND C WHICH ARE FETAL.
Next Steps
AFTER ONE DOSE NO EFFECTS REMIANS SO NO NEED OF TEST FOR HBsAG.
