> 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?
