HepatitisB vaccination, barrier methods during intercourse

Iam a medical doctor. One of my 40yrs old female patient is found to be positive for Hepatitis B during her routine investigations. Her husband is found to be negative for the same. Her husband who is 45 yrs old got fully vaccinated for Hepatitis B. now they have a question, whether they can have sexual intercourse without using condom as her husband is fully vaccinated. Can I get help for the same question. thank you.
