I was trained in Southampton by a superb lady in the NHS who retired a couple of months later after 40 years dealing with TB related issues. She was a mind of info and she told me that it was not viable financially after 35 as the uptake was poor. This was about 4 years ago. Unless data has changed….But then I guess depends on risk and amount of people and cost???
She also predicted the issue of TB getting worse due to the reduction of vaccinating schemes and immigration…. I think that she will be right as I am hearing more on TB than I ever did 10 years ago. Is that experienced by others?
And I am in Devon which has a low issue.

Can anyone point me to an evidence base that HepB vaccination is ineffective in staff over 50.
Do other services offer HepB vaccination to staff over 50?
