Hi Sue
Check her antibodies, she is probably already immune.
Cheers

Hi Folks,
I have a lady who is over 50 and on 3 occasions has started a course of
hep b, but never completed with the third vaccination on any of the 3
attempts (nothing to do with me), she has minimal contact with blood and
works in a lab.
Would those of you that do hep b's persist and try to complete a course?
Did I read somwhere that the efficacy of the hep b vaccine is reduced as
one gets older and does anyone have information regarding the link to
MS?
Thanks again for your help
Sue.
