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 a patient received the first dose of HepB but did not return for the remaining doses in the series under what circumstances should the HepB series be restarted?

The Hepatitis B vaccination series should be restarted if the patient has not received any doses of the vaccine in the past 6 months. However, if the patient received their first dose less than 6 months ago, it is usually recommended to complete the series without restarting. In cases where the patient is at high risk for Hepatitis B infection, healthcare providers may also consider restarting the series regardless of the time elapsed. Always consult the latest CDC guidelines for specific recommendations.
