Discuss With Doctor: Hepatitis B virus occurs world wide; is a cause of serious liver disease; is transmitted thru blood/body fluids. Immunization is effective for prevention & post-exposure management. Vaccination after 2 doses provides protection in up to 80% of recipients. Overall vaccine efficacy is 90-95%. Blood test to confirm immunity after vaccination recommended for certain risk groups. Discuss with doctor.
