[MCOH-EH] Hepatitis B Immunization

[Palfrey, John]

I believe the ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) recommends post-vaccination serologic testing as a means of determining whether the vaccination series conferred immunity. Our practice is to require HBsAb titers.

CAUTION: EXTERNAL EMAIL





Good Morning,
I would like to hear what others are doing with regards to their locum providers as far as testing (or not) for Hep B surface antibody.  Many locums come with documentation of the 3 vaccine series but not the Hep B surface antibody done after vaccination completion.  Are you asking for the locums to provide the Hep B surface antibody or are you accepting the Hep B series solely?
Thank you,
Karen
