If the EPP worker has good Antibodies after 3 doses and sAg Negative,
Then they can be cleared without further follow-up,
And then only need to come back for the 4th dose.
You know what fun getting Dr's back is :)

Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Hepatitis B Serology
Dear List,
Following on from Diane's excellent advice below, I would like to ask if anyone does postpone Hep B serology until after the 4th dose, especially in Health Care Workers (EPP and non EPP)?
Some of our nurses are asking why we are still testing after the third dose when the guidance is to wait and test after the 4th dose. My response has been that this then delays our knowledge of the employee's hep B status.
I would be interested to hear if anyone does do this and whether or not it causes any concerns?
Thank you
Cathy
