In college, we had to test for our immunity for hepatitis B. And my titer was below normal. I was vaccinated as a baby. So I opted to get a booster shot. Just recently, I checked for my titer and still it was below normal. I went to a doctor and since I had 2 series of vaccines, she said that I am a non-responder. As a nurse, I believe we are more at risk with blood borne infections. Being a non-responder can mean two things right? Either I am immune to the disease altogether or I am susceptible.
So here is my question, would I get myself restarted with a series of vaccines to confirm that I am really a non-responder? because another person advised me at work that maybe I just need to start it all over again.
