Hepatitis B Infection is an occupational high risk factor. Immune response for vaccination was measured by Antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen (anti HBs) levels. A course of Hep B vaccine yields a protective immune response (anti-HBs ≥10 mIU/mL) this study was designed to determine the anti HBs levels in Health Care Workers (HCWs) working as laboratory technician and staff nurses. The blood samples were collected from 546 HCWs, Anti HBs level was estimated using Chemi Luminescence Immuno Assay (CLIA) before and after 0,1,6 month of vaccination. Among 546 HCWs, before vaccination 83HCWs was non-protected, after 0th dose of vaccination among 83 HCWs, 25 were again not protected. After administer two more doses, 4 were again non-protected. These 4 HCWs was termed as “Non Responders”, have confirmed there vaccination history of complete dose with evidence and has remained to be non-protective after the two sets of complete vaccination course administered.
