A member asked:
Can i get hepatitis b even if i am vaccinated?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Nothing is 100%. Hepatitis b is a bad disease and we hope if you do get it after the vaccine that it will be a much milder case. I have not had a patient with hepatitis b who has had the vaccine, nor have any patients that I have given the vaccine caught hepatitis b, that i know of. I have practiced in the same community for 41 years.

Possibly: “The vaccine is 80% to 100% effective in preventing infection or clinical hepatitis in those who receive the complete vaccine series.” REF: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/hepb.html
