Question: Hello I completed my hepatitis vaccine in 2008 and was told to have a repeat 10 years after as the immunity in my blood has dropped 
I asked a few doctors if taking a booster means taking one dose or the whole 3 course but never got a certain answer My spouse is positive 
What can I do  Regarding vaccination 
Thank you
Answer: Booster doses of hepatitis B vaccine extends the effectiveness of the vaccine They are usually not recommended for most healthy people but the need for booster doses is determined by a certain blood test that looks for hepatitis B surface antibody 

However on account of the positive status of spouse and exposure to the disease you should get a booster dose or at least consider it after getting a test done  

Please note that booster dose of hepatitis B vaccine is not harmful

Answer: Hello 

Goodday 

Normally if you are sure that you have completed the 3 doses of the vaccine there is really no need for a booster dose as it covers you for life if no then you need to complete it 

I hope your husband is taking his medications and having his reguar check ups 

I hope this helps 

Thank you
