Have read this with interest.
If someone is unable to confirm immunity we blood test to
establish titre level.
<10miu/ml non immune repeat course
>10 but <99 miu/ml partial immunity, immediate
booster then repeat single booster after 5 years no other
action
>100miu/ml immune single booster dose after 5
years.
Proviso is if individual has needlestick injury booster
always offered - down to them to decline.
Never assume immunity, it may never have taken effect ie
age, health etc etc.
I was told by a wise Irishman when I was 18years old (going
back a bit!!!!) if you ass-u-me it makes a mockery of both of us. You clever
ones out there can identify the full
saying!

If you refer to the Green Book, chapter on Hep
B, under COSHH regulations an individual worker has a right to know whether
or not they have been protected. There is the potential they are a non-responded
which needs to be known in the event of an NSI. And check their antigen at
the same time if not already done so.

Sharon,

helps I feel.
This was the way I did in the NHS.
