Pg 177 green book - -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Richardson Andrea Sent: 23 July 2009 10:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] FW: Hep B-Lifelong Immunity Dear List Can anyone provide help with directing me to the evidence that a complete primary course of Hepatitis B vaccine with a good antibody response (>100) and a 5 year booster gives "lifelong immunity". I am having trouble finding this information and am wondering if it is just a historic term that is used rather than your "Hepatitis B immunisation programme is complete". Many Thanks Andrea Occupational Health Nurse Adviser West Sussex PCT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
