Hi Chloe,

 

for EPP workers, we require evidence within 2 years (UK lab, Identified validated sample), of Hep B surface antigen, as well as evidence of completed course & antibody response (from whatever date).

For non-EPP, evidence of course of vaccine, response & booster (or date required)

Hi Chloe,

 

No.

 

Once you have had a full course you either have no immunity start again, partial immunity with immediate booster and a one off five year booster or full immunity with a one off five year booster.

Immunity determined by titre level. In NHS provided we see lab report/result from other Occ Health then that is it. 

After these dates we only test if no result available and we need to update file.

 

Booster offered after a needlestick injury.

 

Hope this helps

Clive

Dear list

Please can those involved in Hep B vaccination advise with regard to their policy on checking Hep B status: after booster, do you require further proof of Hep B status and if so, how often.... both EPP staff and non EPP

many thanks

CHloe
