A member asked:

Whats the difference between hep b vaccine and hep b booster? is there differences in formulation? thanks!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: There is a preparation for infants and children that has a smaller amount of immune generating material than the formulation for adults. However, the booster for kids remains the same kids formulation and the adult booster is the same adult formulation.

Can a blood test for covid antibodies tell if you had covid in the past, even if you have been vaccinated and had a booster? In other words, can the test tell the difference between vaccine antibodies and antibodies from infection?
