SARS Virus Originated in Bats

All right, I will wait until tomorrow. But why not take a rest when tired? I hope i didn't bore you. Three hospitals in a day? Are you a fireman or superman?

This afternoon I consulted my doctor and she told me to take the three-shot inoculation. My problems are: 1. After the second shot, when should I take the third one? The usual regemen is in six months. Shall I take the usual regemen or less than six months? 2. After I have taken the third shot, when should I take up the test? In six months?

Take care

1. Week 0: give adult hepatitis B vaccine 0.25cc intradermal in forearm
2. Week 2: give adult hepatitis B vaccine 0.25cc intradermal in other forearm
3. Week 4: draw HBsAb (post hepatitis B vaccine)
4. HBsAb Positive = Immune, no further vaccine
5. HBsAb Negative = repeat steps 1, 2, 3,

You are Libra of course.

I guess it was the wrong sign then. Anyway, here is an article about vaccine:

本人由於無感染B刑肝炎及無其抗體,故接受某大市立醫院醫生建議,施打該型疫苗(據該醫師稱該疫苗為基因療法之疫苗而非減毒之肝炎病毒),可是經施打三劑後,抽血檢查卻 發現仍無抗體,是何原因?本人是否本身免疫系統較弱因此無法辨別疫苗之入侵而無法產生抗體,是否須再注射其他疫苗或有其他需注意事項?

Ｂ型肝炎疫苗注射後，並非百分之百的人會產生抗體，以國內目前常使用的 Engerix-B 疫苗來說，產生抗體的比率約在98％上下，所以說還是有少數的人無
法產生抗體。為何有這種情況，目前真正的原因還是不清楚，被報告過的因素包括注射者本身免疫系統的問題，對一些抗原刺激反應較差；也有說注射疫苗時的年紀會有所影響，隨著年齡增加，無法反應產生抗體的比例人數會增加；也有學者指出一些人產生抗體的量太少，以一般檢驗方式無法偵測到，但還是屬於有效；也有文獻指出假若有其它疾病如Ｃ型肝炎、尿毒症等，也會使反應率降低；許許多多的因素都也可能造成注射疫苗無抗體反應。

至於如何處理，建議隔3-6個月再檢疫一次Ｂ型肝炎抗原抗體，假使還是陰性，工作上屬於高危險群，譬如會接觸到血液的醫療工作人員等，建議重新接受疫苗注射，直到有抗體出現。否則就生活上多加小心，避免接觸別人體液污染的器具，降低感染機會。
