Re: Hep B Booster.
From what I understand the booster given after the primary course of
three is thought to give sufficient immunity, but is there a blood test
first to identify antibody levels prior to administering booster? - not
sure from there. Any info would be gratefully recieved.

Hi all,
Does any one know if it is still recommended to give a Hep. B booster
dose 5 years following an adequate response to the primary course? Is
it no longer necessary to have a Hep. B booster dose, as a good response
from a blood test after 3 injections is sufficient to give immunity for
life?
Your views on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ayoola.
