Basics: The initial dose is recommended at birth. However a 2nd & sometimes a 3rd dose are part of the series. These boosters are meant to build on that initial dose & prolong protection for decades that would otherwise fail sooner.

I had the hep b vaccine years apart from each other, my clinic, or doctors have never informed me of this, can I still be protected from hep b?

Had the hep b vaccine on 7/24, donated plasma in 7/26 test cane back inconclusive. My doc said he could do an immunity test but for me to wait 2-3 months? Im suppose to get my 2nd shot on 8/26. Do you agree? This is nerve racking

Why are doctors seeming so reluctant to give the hep b vaccine now?

Went & got the Hep b vaccine & 2 days later donated plasma & when they tested it, it came back false positive. My doc wanted me to wait a while to test me & I dont have Hep B. Will I never be able to donate blood? Even for a family member?
