Person vaccinated?: A person is vaccinated against HepB after birth. The vaccine prevents liver cancer that HepB causes, and prevents HepB infection. If a person is not vaccinated, he can call his doctor to ask about the vaccine. A person living with a HepB carrier should have a blood test every 5 years or so, to check the level of immunity (from vaccine) against HepB. HepB is not transmitted via soap or handwashing.
