I am not sure what you are asking. If you are HBsAg negative, but also HBsAb(anti-HBs) negative, then taking hbv vaccine may help you to produce HBsAb. You should check with your doctor.
The HBV vaccine only affects HBsAb.

Even if you were still infected you can still work in many areas of health. This is the recommendation of CDC. See more information at this link:

If you have fully recovered, there should be no restriction at all.

Thank you for the response. What if the person has already recovered from the infection? could it still be possible to practice nursing or clinical laboratory scientist in the hospital?

You will have this marker when you are chronic Hepatitis infection and also when you have recovered from the infection. So what areas of health care you can work in depend on whether you are still chronic or have recovered fully.
