Hi Glen,
Thanks for your reply.I'm aware of the DOH guidence regarding EPP workers,
I was enquiring about the diffence in practice in the area of acceptable
Anti-HBs levels. It's the workers who have >10 but <100 iu/l that appear
to be managed differently, and it's interesting that you state that they
are 'immune without confidence' and I think that is the problem! I know
that some OH departments request annual serology on EPP workers with Anti
HBs <100, some department with <50, and still others only with the
true 'non responders' who have <10 iu/l. I would be interested in hearing
from other OH nurses on what their departments consider to be appropriate
Anti HBs protection for their EPP workers not to have annual serology.
Thanks
Michael
