A member asked:
When should people take a hep b (vaccine) booster shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After the primary hep b series, a booster is not needed unless antibodies are not found when testing. Only healthcare providers would get antibody testing as they come in close contact with infectious diseases like hep b. Lay people don’t need to worry about it.
