A member asked:

I took the 1st shot for hep b vax last year at work. i left job and never got 2&3. any issues with this other than not being immune?

No harm: You may not be immune to hep b, but otherwise getting one shot is not harmful. You could check your immune status by getting a blood test to measure antibodies to hep b.

Say you had your Hep B vax before exposure to Hep B, and you're still immune via testing with strong surface antibodies. If you are exposed to Hep B, will you develop core anti bodies? Or does Immunity completely protect?
