A member asked:
Is it possible to spread hepatitis b from husband to wife even if she was vaccinated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but unlikely: Vaccinations aren't 100% effective but typically one is protected if the antibodies are high enough from the vaccination. A person vaccinated should be safe from infection but it can't be guaranteed.
