Thanks Milne,
So can I assume that you still after the third dose, you don't wait until
after the 4th dose (ie 12 months later?)
Apologies as well - I thought I had included a previous response from Diane
below my original post, but it appears to have disappeared!
Basically she advised that the guidance in the Green Book was to test after
the 4th dose, but that she didn't anticipate many OH services wanting to
postpone testing for that long.
I would still be interested to hear when everyone else tests.

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
