Hi and thank you for asking us

For your information there is a condition called Hepatitis B Vaccine Non-Responder in which the person does not respond to the vaccine and the body or immune system does not create an antibody for the disease. It may be due to old age, obesity, smoking and other chronic illness. It is also possible that the person does not respond to the vaccine because he/she has been infected with hepatitis B.

In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest medical doctor. If you have any more enquiries, you can click on the link (DoctorOnCall) and speak to our doctors in private and get the consultation you need on the phone. Thank you.

Boost your immune system with a balanced diet and good nutrition.
