I hv taken 3 dose of hapatitis b 10 yr ago but booster after 5 yrs not taken. should i take now or i can start fr begining.

Hepatitis B Immunity: Nope. The need for a booster did not materialize. If you get immune to hepatitis b you are most likely immune for life. But, you do not need to wonder. There is a simple blood test your physician can send that can confirm your immunity.
