Hep B Vaccine

Hello guys

I had a quick question about the Hep B vaccine. I'm working as a CNA at a hospital here in Texas and just started receiving the Hep B vaccine (have had 2nd shot). I was wondering since I'm inbetween the middle and last dose, am I at all protected even the slightest? Would it show up on the tibre?

Thanks for the help

Re: Hep B Vaccine

yes you will be protected. You need all of the series to be protected to the extended period of time. Make sense?

Re: Hep B Vaccine

with each dose you will be protected but completing the course will give you the best protection. Will show in titre levels

I'm not so sure that you are protected with only 2 out of 3 vaccine injections. Some people get the whole series and are not protected. If you're really worried about it, best to have a titer done.
