Hepatitis B Query
Today I was purchasing some articles from a shop when one of shopkeeper's men handing the articles had a cut and some blood came out. He gave the articles with the same hand. So now I am a bit tensed. I mean I saw it so am worried but mostly we don't even know.
My concern is that in everyday situations do such incidents pose a risk of infection? We all had been vaccinated in 2000 and I read you don't require a booster life long. But my grandmother is 79 years old. She has diabetes, hypertension and hypothyroid but all in control. Is she at risk? I did apply hand sanitizer on my hands.

It sounds like you're understandably concerned about the situation you encountered.
In everyday situations, incidents involving blood can pose a risk of infection, especially if there are open wounds or exposure to blood from an individual who may have an infectious disease. However, the risk largely depends on several factors, including the type of exposure and the health status of the individuals involved.
Regarding your vaccination, being fully vaccinated significantly reduces the risk of severe illness from various infections. Since you mentioned that you received your vaccination in 2000 and noted that no booster is needed for a lifetime, please confirm your vaccination status with current health guidelines, as recommendations can change.
As for your grandmother, while she has managed health conditions, she is at a higher risk due to her age and existing health issues. It's wise to be cautious in such situations. Applying hand sanitizer is a good preventive measure, but ensure she maintains good hygiene practices as well.
For better evaluation and treatment, please consider consulting me directly or WhatsApp me at eight hundred nine eight two one three three two. Your health and safety are important, so don't hesitate to reach out for further guidance.
