 You should be vaccinated against hepatitis B. There is no reason to be worried about this in the future because the vaccine is very effective. Please talk to your doctor about this. You can check for hepatitis B surface antigen but I would simply check your liver function tests over time to be certain that your liver tests are normal. If you have been vaccinated in the past, then simply check your surface antibody to be certain that your levels are protective. | ||||||||
