Check vaccine status: One's primary care doctor can check for one's hep b vaccine status. In the us, babies have been vaccinated against hep b since the 1980's, so young americans should be immune due to their vaccines. Furthermore, anyone in the healthcare or first-responder job types should already have been checked for hep b immunity, even if just volunteering. So, ask the primary care doctor for an appointment.
