I gave him another dose of Engerix B on 30-Dec and done retesting and new results are. HEP B. Surface > Antigen..Non-Reactive (0.61) HEP.B Surface Antibody...Reactive (94.04)mIL/mL. Only few questions, (1) Is he save now if yes then would i require these tests to be done again ever?

 It looks like the vaccine worked well...You should talk to your doctor about periodic retesting to see if the protective antibody titers are falling and if he needs revaccination. However, most people do well over the years, if they do not have any immunosuppression (ie, HIV or are on immunosuppressants.) | |||||||||
