Booster dose for Hepatitis B enquiry
I am 25F. Had vaccination done as a child. However, when I tested now my Hepatitis B antibody level is 13 mIU/mL. Should I get a booster shot, and which vaccine (Engerix-B, Heplisav-B, or Recombivax HB) would you recommend? Also, how many mL should I take and what is the schedule?

Usually above 10 mlU/ml is considered to be protective.
If you are of high risk jobs then better to take single booster dose.
If not repeat the antibody after 6-9 months.
