We give 6 vaccines and a negative HBSAB before we call them a non-responder.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Hep B and Non Responder Status

 

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 4th Hep B Challenge dose is given and the Hep B Titer and HBSAG are negative

·         Or, you can continue the 2nd 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 4th Hep B Booster/Challenge dose and the titer and HBSAB are negative?

 

Thanks
