Can you still get infected after being vaccinated for hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

I was anesthetized with the hepatitis B vaccine and still got hepatitis B. Will having sex with my boyfriend transmit hepatitis B?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. In this case, check the hepatitis B enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) 1 to 2 months after anesthesia for the hepatitis B vaccine to see if the hepatitis B surface antibody is positive. If it is negative, you need to enhance the hepatitis B vaccination until his hepatitis B surface antibody is positive. Hepatitis B is a disease that is not easy to recover from. Patient friends should maintain a positive attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as only this can boost their confidence in fighting hepatitis B and believe that recovery is certain.
