What should I do if a 3-year-old child does not have hepatitis B antibodies?

Patient's question:

Still receiving the hepatitis B immune globulin, I checked the hepatitis B panel today, and all results were negative. Can hepatitis B infection be ruled out? Why are there no antibodies? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B two pairs and a half test results are all negative, indicating no infection with the hepatitis B virus and no antibodies in the body. Advice: If you received the full course of hepatitis B vaccination without antibodies, you can receive another dose. It is recommended to try a vaccine from a different manufacturer.
