Hep b

I would try and do an anti HBs on her. She may already have immunity if she has had 6 vaccines!

 

Worth a shot !

Hi Folks,

I have a lady who is over 50 and on 3 occasions has started a course of hep b, but never completed with the third vaccination on any of the 3 attempts (nothing to do with me), she has minimal contact with blood and works in a lab.

Would those of you that do hep b's persist and try to complete a course? Did I read somwhere that the efficacy of the hep b vaccine is reduced as one gets older and does anyone have information regarding the link to MS?

Thanks again for your help

Sue.
