Hepatitis B Vaccination Profile

Hepatitis B Transmission: Person to person through body fluids, such as blood, saliva, semen, and vaginal fluids, from a mother to her baby when she is pregnant or giving birth.

Effects: Fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, and yellow skin and eyes (jaundice). Carriers are at high risk for getting liver disease, liver failure, and even liver cancer. Many people will get better and become immune for life. Some will recover but remain as carriers who can pass the virus to other people. There is no cure for hepatitis B, but treatment can sometimes decrease the amount of virus in the blood and body secretions.

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): The presence of HBsAg indicates that the person is infectious. 

Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (HBsAb): The presence of anti-HBs is generally interpreted as indicating recovery and immunity from hepatitis B virus infection.
