Ang alam ko sa booster ay 10 years ang effectivity nyan. Sabi nila kahit wla ka na dw booster eh nagkakaroon ng memory yung immune system mo kaya protected ka pa rin. Depende sa response ng katawan mo ang effectivity ng vaccine kasi yung iba ay di kaagad sila nagkakaroon ng antibodies s hepatitis b kahit 3 shots na. Pero in general eh protected ka na kapag nagcomplete mo yung 3 shots ng vaccine ng hepatitis b kaya yung iba di na nila inaadvice na magpabooster pa pwera na lang kung ang work mo ang lagi kang exposed sa blood tulad ng mga nurse o doctor at yung health professionals.
