Are booster doses of hepatitis B vaccine needed routinely?
No, booster doses of hepatitis B vaccine are not recommended routinely for persons who are not immune compromised. Data show that vaccine-induced anti-HBs levels might decline over time; however, immune memory remains intact indefinitely following immunization. Immune-competent people with declining antibody levels are still protected against clinical illness and chronic disease.
