A vaccine non-responder is someone who does not build up an adequate immune response after receiving two,
3 shot series of the HBV vaccine. Approximately 5-15% of people who receive the vaccine are considered non-
responders. This is especially important for health-care workers who may be at increased risk of exposure to
HBV.
Documentation of two complete Hepatitis B series, a follow-up negative HBsAb titer, and a HBsAg negative
titer, are required to declare non-responder status. Once declared as a non-responder, this individual will not
be required to receive any more Hepatitis B vaccine or HBsAb titers.
Non-responders to vaccination and who are HBsAg negative should be considered susceptible to HBV infection
and should be counseled by a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant currently licensed in the
United States regarding precautions to prevent HBV infection and the need to obtain HBIG prophylaxis for any
known or probable percutaneous or permucosal exposure to HBsAg positive blood.
