Most adults who complete the 3-dose hepatitis B vaccination series develop protective antibodies,
with around 90% achieving adequate levels.
However, antibody levels can decline over time.
Studies show that 30–60% of vaccinated individuals may no longer have detectable antibodies 5–10 years after vaccination.
Despite this, if the individual has a normally functioning immune system, they typically retain immune memory and can still respond to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) even if antibodies are no longer detectable. Therefore, revaccination is generally not recommended for healthy individuals who have already completed the series.
However, revaccination and follow-up testing may be considered in the following cases:
- Individuals with weakened immune systems (e.g., undergoing dialysis, HIV-positive)
- Those at high risk of HBV exposure (e.g., healthcare workers)
- Infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers
- Family members of HBV carriers
In such high-risk groups, it is recommended to test for antibodies 1 to 3 months after vaccination
to confirm whether protective immunity has been established.
