You can find this in the "Pink Book" Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine preventable diseases. You can access the information through the CDC and download chapters without having to buy the book.

2 Complete series, retiter 30 days after 6th vaccination( last one of the second series) and if negative draw HBsAg.

We refer if HBsAg is positive; if negative, we consider a non responder.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Hep B and Non Responder Status
Sent by: "MCOH-EH" <mcoh-eh-bounces@mylist.net>

I have a question about Hep B and Non Responder Status:

I cannot find the citation but I read that HCWs can be considered Non Responders in one of two ways
· After the 4^th Hep B Challenge dose is given and the Hep B Titer and HBSAG are negative
· Or, you can continue the 2^nd series of Hep B through dose #6 and consider Non Responder if the Titer and HBSAG are negative

I cannot find where I read this now. Do we have to give the Hep B series twice, (6 doses) before declaring Non Responder, or, do we have an option to do this after the 4^th Hep B Booster/Challenge dose and the titer and HBSAB are negative?

Thanks
