Do you need hep A injection if you had hep B?
Yes, Hep A and Hep B are to different viruses. Each have their own series of injections to boost immunity. There is no Immunization for Hep C. Good luck.
Is there an over dose in vaccination of Hep-B?
Current recommendations for immunization for hepatitis B demonstrate belief that overdose is not a concern. For example, for the high-risk patient who has a three-injection series and does not demonstrate immunity via positive titer, a one-time repeat of the series if three is recommended. Similarly, for the patient unsure of Hep B immunization status who has a high-risk needle-stick, immunization is recommended.
What does the medical abbreviation HBs Ag Non-reactive mean?
You do not have Hepatitis Surface B antigens present. This can mean you do not have Hep B or if you have had vaccinations and are getting tested within months of the shots, they have not produced sufficient immunity. (If the titer is done years after the immunization, the levels may be non-reactive, but the body still may produce an anamnestic response demonstrating that low titer levels years after immunization are not an effective indicator of immune status.)
