1.Hepatitis B vaccine normally gives protection for 20 year.Anti Hbs level should ideally be more than 100 mlu/ml. 2.Even people having anti Hbs level more than 10Miu/ml are also considered safe and have very low chance of getting infection. 3.Your Anti hbs level is good and you are safe, 4.But Since your wife is suffering from hepatitis B you may take one booster dose after consulting gastro enterologist/Hepatologist 5.Start anti viral drugs for your wife if required after consulting hepatologist
