Hep B: Yes. if you had the 3 shot series of hep b in 2006 You should still have antibodies so you can check the blood test for hep b antibodies. If it is low you still could be immune with an amnestic response, meaning levels are low but when exposed you rev right up, when in contact with hep b . it is best though not to rely on the amnestic response ,but get a booster shot . if levels low
