Hi
Is this for travel or healthcare?
Twinrix can be given 0, 1, 21 days and if over 18yrs a fourth dose at 12 months this should give up to 10 - 20 yrs
Hep A cover and a 5 yr booster for Hep B, titres check 10 - 12 weeks after 12 month dose would seem reasonable if required.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] HEP A and HEP B Twinrix vaccines
Hi,
I apologise at the outset if this query is a bit mental, but I am having a
real senile moment (how bad that is at the age of 33)!
Does anyone use the Twinrix vaccine in their role of OH? Also, if someone
should only receive 1 or 2 doses of the vaccine, can you still give the
3rd and last dose more than 6 mths later and it still be effective?
Would you give boosters for this particular course of immunisations? What
about titres?
Thanks in advance
Rachael
