1 Understand that hepatitis B vaccination-induced protective antibodies can last for up to 15 years, but appear to fall off over time.2  Patients who were vaccinated 10 to 15 years ago, especially those who were vaccinated as children, may not be adequately protected. Patients who were vaccinated 10 to 15 years ago, especially those who were vaccinated as children, may not be adequately protected. 2  For patients with this history who are at moderate to high risk of hepatitis B infection consider quantitative hepatitis B antibody measurement to determine protective immunity.
Nevertheless, in immunocompetent people, a primary HBV vaccine series can prevent infection for >20 years, even if anti-HBsAg antibodies have declined or even disappeared (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14). See the table below from 1 for some examples of long-lasting HBV vaccine protection.
