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.
