โก Why Is Hepatitis B Immunity Important?
๐ก๏ธ Hepatitis B is a virus that can affect the liver. People working in healthcare, care, dentistry, laboratory or clinical settings may be asked to provide evidence of immunity because of possible exposure to blood or body fluids.
๐ After Hepatitis B vaccination, an immunity blood test can help confirm whether your body has produced an adequate antibody response.
๐ This can be important for occupational health clearance, clinical placements, workplace records or professional requirements.
๐ Why Might Someone Need This Test?
Some employers, universities or occupational health providers may ask for proof of Hepatitis B immunity.
