  1. A 23 year old business woman got two shots of hepatitis B 1 month apart 2 years ago. Today she is at your practice for ending the schedule. What should be done? • A. start again from zero. • B. you offer a third dose of hepatitis B vaccine • C. you first control the anti-HBs and if > 10 IU/L, • D. you tell her she is protected

  2. A 23 year old business woman got two shots of hepatitis B 1 month apart 2 years ago. Today she is at your practice for ending the schedule. What should be done? • A. start again from zero. • B.you offer a third dose of hepatitis B vaccine • C. you first check the anti-HBs and if > 10 IU/L, • D. you tell her she is protected

  3. Delayed and Incorrect Dosesof Hepatitis B Vaccine • If vaccination series is interrupted • no need to restart series • second dose missed: give missing dose and continue series • third dose missed: complete series • If an incorrect (i.e., low) dose of vaccine is given, dose should be repeated

  4. A 45 year old nurse is going to work in an orphanage in an Eastern European country. She received 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine in 1986. She can remember she was tested and her anti-HBs was 1124 mIU/ml. What do you recommend? • A. tell her she is protected for life. • B. tell her she should start vaccination from zero again • C. offer her one additional dose and measure the anti-HBs one month later again. • D. test for anti-HBs before any further intervention.

  6. As part of your adolescent immunization programme you are considering post-vaccination serologic testing. Is this indicated? • A. yes, for all ado ’s • B. no, for no one. • C. yes, for some adolescents.

  7. As part of your adolescent immunization programme you are considering post-vaccination serologic testing. Is this indicated? • A. yes, for all ado ’s • B. no, for no one. • C. yes, for some adolescents.

  8. Post-Vaccination Testing Vaccine highly immunogenic >95% seroconversion after 3-dose series Almost all vaccinated persons protected Post-vaccination testing NOT indicated after routine immunization

  9. A 33 year old HCW comes in your practice for anti-HBs control 8 years after he got a complete vaccination schedule. And he wants to be tested. What shall you do? • A. he is protected for life • B. he should start vaccination from zero again • C. offer him one additional dose and measure the anti-HBs one month later again. • D. try to check whether anti-HBs data are available from the past • E. tell him he is not protected • F. check his anti-HBS as requested

  10. A 33 year old HCW comes in your practice for anti-HBs control 8 years after he got a complete vaccination schedule. And he wants to be tested. What shall you do? • A. he is protected for life • B. he should start vaccination from zero again • C. offer him one additional dose and measure the anti-HBs one month later again. • D. try to check whether anti-HBs data are available from the past • E. tell him he is not protected • F. check his anti-HBS as requested

  11. Long-Term Protection withHepatitis B Vaccine • Vaccine provides long-term protection • Immunity persists despite loss of anti-HBs • documented protection up to 15 years • lifelong protection likely • continued follow-up needed to determine duration of protection Booster doses of hepatitis B vaccine NOT currently recommended

  12. Mechanism of Long-Term Protectionwith Hepatitis B Vaccine Primary vaccination series Immune memory Anamnestic antibody response Rapid rise in anti-HBs Protection from infection Exposure to HBV

  13. Serologic Response to Booster Dose ofHepatitis B Vaccine 4 weeks post-booster 2 weeks post-booster 1 year post-booster Booster dose (simulating natural infection) Primary series Source: Williams, CDC

  14. Long-Term Protection with Hepatitis B Vaccine Among Vaccinated Infants and Children Country Years f/u n Anti-HBs >10 mIU/ml Anti-HBc Positive HBsAg Positive 2% 0 0.4% 0 0 1% 0 15 12 10 10 10 9 10 52 148 805 118 53 675 474 50% 74% 85% 67% 68% -- 68% 6% 1% 14% 12% 0 13% 1% China Hong Kong Taiwan Taiwan Italy Gambia Italy

  15. Long-lasting protection:implications • scientific data do not support the need for routine booster vaccinations (ACIP, ACIP Canada, VHPB) • therefore, no booster recommendation : • for universal HB vaccination programmes (infants, children and adolescents) • for adults who are immunocompetent

  16. Long-lasting protection:implications • European consensus group on hepatitis B immunity (October 1998, Florence): • no need for booster doses in immunocompetent individuals • HB booster vaccination to be considered for mmunocompromised individuals: • haemodialysis • chronic renal failure/liver disease • HIV positive • ... Kane M et al. Lancet 2000; 355: 561-565

  17. Long-lasting protection: benefits • Maintains immunity in the population • Reduces morbidity and mortality • Reduces transmission in the population • Protects against disease for longer • Reduces direct and indirect costs of booster vaccination programs

  18. A mother brings her child for a second hepatitis B shot, and the child has a cold and fever of 38.0°C. What should you do? • A. give the shot as scheduled • B. send the child home, and tell the mother to bring the child back over one week. • C. give to shot and keep the child in your clinic for 24h. Observation.
