A member asked:

Can we take hep b vaccine after booster dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: You can take a hep b vaccine under most any circumstances. I would not take it within 4-6 weeks of taking a significant amount of Prednisone or similar drug, as it would weaken or impair the response.It can be taken with another vaccine or in the same time period.
