Dear sir, we need to know the stage of hepatitis b. Not all patients with hep b need treatment, some only need close followup. We need to see him and do some tests to know the stage and accordingly treat if needed. Hep b does not spread by touching and sweat, it spread by blood contact, iv drug abuse (sharing needles), from mother to baby and during intercourse if the partner is not protected. Meet me for further information.

Inactivated hepatitis a vaccines are safe and highly effective. Traditionally, a two-dose schedule is recommended, particularly in travellers at substantial risk of contracting hepatitis a and in immunocompromised individuals. However, in healthy individuals, comparable effectiveness has been achieved with a single dose.

Chances are very rare. Hepatitis b vaccine gives protection for 20 years. Booster dose has to be taken there after. Consult physician for further advice.
