hep b vaccine nonresponder

If you are a nonresponder to the hep b vaccine I have had three attempts of the series and non have worked.  Does that mean you are less likely to respond to hep c treatment?

I read an article that nonresponders  should be checked for celiac disease  which I have, there is probably other reasons as well.  thank you for your post and I wish you well.

If you don't develop immunity after the second time, a third time is not recommended.  It should have no bearing on Hep C treatment.

I'm  interested in the answers to this as well - I have been through the series twice and still have no immunity, I'm  doing the series again now, with the 3 injection due in March. I was also wondering if that would have any bearing on my HCV treatment. Thanks for bringing it up!
