Hep B Titer- (Hep B Surface, antibody) Quantitative for Minor

Testing for minors <16 years old Hep B Titer Test required by most schools Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) level can be measured to determine if vaccination is needed. Following a vaccination regimen, anti-HBs can be measured to determine if protective immunity has been achieved. This assay is used to determine immune status for Hepatitis B.   Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (HBsAb or anti-HBs): The “surface antibody“ is formed in response to the hepatitis B virus. Your body can make this antibody if you have been vaccinated, or if you have recovered from a hepatitis B infection.
