A member asked:
I am a medical student i have had my hep b vaccine when i was 4 now my ab titer is 6 should i take a booster dose and if what are its risks. ?

Another series: is recommended if your your AB titer is less than 10, given that you are a med student and there is a potential for exposure as a healthcare professional later on, take the whole series at 0, 1 and 6 months, if you want to measure the titers, do so at least 2 months after the last dose, take care
