Vaccination Questions

by somicare, Nov 02, 2009 04:31AM
Three years back, I was exposed to hepatitis B virus but not infected. I completed 3 series of vaccines and had positive response to antibodies . Can i take hepatitis A vaccine now? is it recomondable now?  any side effects ?
will i need anti-HAV / Total Anti- HAV antibody test before taking vaccination. Whether i need to monitor / re-test ANTI-HBS yearly?

please clarify?

-Yes.

any side effects ?

-unlikely, but everyone is unique.

will i need anti-HAV / Total Anti- HAV antibody test before taking vaccination.

-Well, if you are Anti-HAV positive, then you don't need the Hep A vaccine.

Whether i need to monitor / re-test ANTI-HBS yearly?

-No

So, did I pass?  What do I get?
