Does this mean I could get Hepatist

I took all 3 shots of hepatits vacines and they took blood work and it came back as 4.1 and should be at least 10.0? What does this mean

If the vaccination was given properly, in the deltoid muscle,  and the titer was measured at 1-6 months after the last vaccine, it should be above 10. If it isn't, you are not immune to hep B and you need another vaccination. Some people need up to 3 extra vaccinations to develop an appropriate titer. You should get tanother vaccine and test the titer again 1 to 6 months later.

The shots were for Hep B. This is the Hep C forum. You need to go to the Hep B forum to find somebody who knows about that.
