Specializes in Infectious Disease

Vaccinated, immune: This result shows you have previously been vaccinated against hepatitis B, and that you are immune to hep B. You don't provide enough detail on the hepatitis A result, but if hep A antibody was found, you also are immune to hep A, probably also from being vaccinated.
