How many doses are in the immunization for H. influenzae type b?
Four doses
Can you get hepatitis B after an immunization?
Yes
Is hepatitis b immunization mandatory?
yes
The Hepatitis B immunization is given a series of how many injections?
The Hepatitis B immunization is given in a series of three injections over a six month period.
What disease can be prevent by immunization?
hepatitis b is a disease that's preventable by vaccination
Hepatitis B titer normal range?
A level of 10.0 mIU/mL or greater after three doses of the Hep B vaccine demonstrates immunity.
If a patient received the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine but did not return for the remaining doses in the series under what circumstances should the hepatitis B vaccine series be restarted?
The series should not be restarted; resume the series where it was interrupted.
What pathogens cause hepatitis b?
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
When do you develop antibody after hepatitis B immunization?
Artificial active immunity. Artificial because it is due to vaccination. Active because the body is stimulated by the vaccine to produce antibodies against Hepatitis B virus antigen.
Is there an over dose in vaccination of Hep-B?
Current recommendations for immunization for hepatitis B demonstrate belief that overdose is not a concern. For example, for the high-risk patient who has a three-injection series and does not demonstrate immunity via positive titer, a one-time repeat of the series if three is recommended. Similarly, for the patient unsure of Hep B immunization status who has a high-risk needle-stick, immunization is recommended.
If you vaccine for hepatitis B twice and did not do the third one will you have to vaccinate again?
The Twinrix vaccine is typically given in 3 doses. This is normal.
What does the medical abbreviation HBs Ag Non-reactive mean?
You do not have Hepatitis Surface B antigens present. This can mean you do not have Hep B or if you have had vaccinations and are getting tested within months of the shots, they have not produced sufficient immunity. (If the titer is done years after the immunization, the levels may be non-reactive, but the body still may produce an anamnestic response demonstrating that low titer levels years after immunization are not an effective indicator of immune status.)
