The advisory committee on immunization practices (acip) currently recommends that people who have not completed the three-dose vaccination series against hepatitis b virus (hbv) should receive the missed doses: ie, the three-dose regimen does not need to be restarted. 1 however, evidence suggests that a two-dose regimen may provide adequate seroprotection for healthy young adults. Let's discuss your concern for better advice.

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.
