How long do hepatitis a and b vaccines protect you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Immunization should normally protect you for life, but in some individuals, the immunity fades away, in this case a booster shot may be needed, others may never be protected even after multiple series of shots, specially for hepatitis b.
