if there was a response to the vaccacine so HBsAb higher than 10 IU but the best much higher more than 100 or 200 than you were protected.

It's lifetime protection. Once your body produces these antibodies, it will remember how to produce them again should the virus gets into your body (there's a medical term for this but can't think of it at the moment) - this is what my doctor told me.

A booster doesn't hurt, so if you want, go get one.
