Booster for hepatitis B


I was vaccinated against hepatitis B several years ago. Do I need a booster shot if I travel?

No, in most cases, the immunity to hepatitis B virus is life long. However, some people may develop low titers and a blood test will confirm that. In such cases, a booster is administered. This is extremely rare.
