All healthcare personnel (HCP) who cannot document previous vaccination should receive either a 2-dose series of Heplisav-B at 0 and 1 month or a 3-dose series of either Engerix-B, PreHevbrio, Recombivax HB, or Twinrix at 0, 1, and 6 months.
HCP who perform tasks that may involve exposure to blood or body fluids should be tested for hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) 1–2 months after dose #2 of Heplisav-B or dose #3 of Engerix-B or Recombivax HB to document immunity.
-If anti-HBs is at least 10 mIU/mL (positive), the vaccinee is immune. No further serologic testing or vaccination is recommended.
-If anti-HBs is less than 10 mIU/mL (negative), the vaccinee is not protected from hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and should receive another 2-dose or 3-dose series of HepB vaccine on the routine schedule, followed by anti-HBs testing 1–2 months later. A vaccinee whose anti-HBs remains less than 10 mIU/mL after 2 complete series is considered a “non-responder."
For non-responders: HCP who are non-responders should be considered susceptible to HBV and should be counseled regarding precautions to prevent HBV infection and the need to obtain HBIG prophylaxis for any known or probable parenteral exposure to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)- positive blood or blood with unknown HBsAg status.
Non-responders should be tested for HBsAg and anti-HBc to determine infection status. Infected HCP should be counseled and medically evaluated. For HCP with documentation of a complete 2-dose (Heplisav-B) or 3-dose (Engerix-B, PreHevbrio, Recombivax HB, or Twinrix) vaccine series but no documentation of anti-HBs of at least 10 mIU/ mL (e.g., those vaccinated in childhood): HCP who are at risk for occupational blood or body fluid exposure might undergo anti-HBs testing upon hire or matriculation.
