The only way to know if you are still protected would be to check your antibody titer, otherwise you are not at risk of getting it if you are in a hospital and if all protocols are respected strictly.

If you had 3 doses of hepatitis B AND positive hepatitis B antibody test, then you are protected. If not, there is very little downside to having a fourth dose which will give a vigorous response. Thank you for working in the hospital

It would be prudent to get a blood test for antibody to Hep B surface antigen. If your level is less than 10 get a booster and retest, keeping in mind that a small proportion do not make protective level. https://www.cda-adc.ca/jcda/vol-66/issue-10/551.html#:~:text=Levels%20of%20anti%2DHBs%20above,virtually%20complete%20protection%20against%20HBV.&text=Typically%2C%20levels%20in%20the%20100s,10%2
