you get a blood test and vaccination on your first visit then a month later you get another vaccination, then 6 months later you get the final vaccination and a blood test to check whether you are immunised or not.All vaccines work by introducing a harmless strain of the virus into your body so that you will build an immunity towards it.

hep B vaccine is very important especially for those medical as well as dental practitioners. it is taken 3 times for boosting purpose. it is taken to boost the production of antibody against hep B virus. it is injected intramuscularly in arm or buttock region.
