1 Understand that hepatitis B vaccination-induced protective antibodies can last for up to 15 years, but appear to fall off over time.2  Patients who were vaccinated 10 to 15 years ago, especially those who were vaccinated as children, may not be adequately protected. Patients who were vaccinated 10 to 15 years ago, especially those who were vaccinated as children, may not be adequately protected. 2  For patients with this history who are at moderate to high risk of hepatitis B infection consider quantitative hepatitis B antibody measurement to determine protective immunity.
The hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) is a series of three different shots. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that all newborns get the first HepB shot before leaving the hospital. If the mother has HBV, her baby should also get a HBIG shot within 12 hours of birth. The second HepB shot should be given one to two months after birth. The third HepB shot should be given no earlier than 24 weeks of age, but before 18 months of age.
