Healthcare Worker, Hepatitis B Vaccine, Nonresponder Clinical Trial
Official title:
HepB-CpG Series for Healthcare Workers Who Are Hepatitis B Vaccine Nonresponders
This study is being done to determine if healthcare workers who have previously failed to respond to hepatitis B vaccine series will respond to a hepatitis B with CpG adjuvant (hepB-CpG) (Heplisav-B)
Study Intervention Each individual who has completed at least 5 doses hepB vaccine with aluminum adjuvant series but is anti-HBs negative will be contacted by EHS staff and invited to receive the hepB-CpG two dose series on a 0 and 1 month schedule. Antibody to the surface antigen will be measured after the first dose during the visit for the administration of the second dose. One month after completion of the series, each immunized individual will have another anti-HBs measured. Total Number of Subjects Up to 130 individuals will be recruited and enrolled. Study Population Healthcare workers who have received at least 5 doses of hepatitis B vaccine with aluminum adjuvant and have antiHBs < 10mIU/ml. ;
