  • Patients who are adequately vaccinated against hepatitis B vaccine will have negative HBsAg, positive HGsAb and negative Hepatitis B core antibody (positive Hep B core antibody = past or current infection)
  • Patient is adequately protected against Hepatitis A due to presence of IgG antibodies, which can be the result of vaccination or past infection
  • Key idea: Indications for Hep A vaccination are chronic liver disease or increased risk of contracting disease (men who have sex with men, IVDU, travel to country where hepatitis A is prevalent, etc.)
