Recombivax HB Adult


Generic Name: hepatitis B adult vaccine (HEP a TYE tis)

Brand Names: Engerix-B, Recombivax HB Adult, Recombivax HB Dialysis Formulation


What is hepatitis B vaccine?

Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by virus.


Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver that is spread through blood or bodily fluids, sexual contact or sharing IV drug needles with an infected person, or during childbirth when a baby is born to a mother who is infected. Hepatitis causes inflammation of the liver, vomiting, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). Hepatitis can lead to liver cancer, cirrhosis, or death.


The hepatitis B vaccine is used to help prevent this disease.


This vaccine works by exposing you to a small amount of the virus, which causes the body to develop immunity to the disease. This vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.


Vaccination with hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all adults and children who are at risk of getting hepatitis B. Risk factors include: having more than one sex partner in 6 months; being a homosexual male; having sexual contact with infected people; having cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis C; using intravenous (IV) drugs; being on dialysis or receiving blood transfusions; working in healthcare or public safety and being exposed to infected blood or body fluids; being in the military or traveling to high-risk areas; and living with a person who has chronic hepatitis B infection.


Like any vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.


What is the most important information I should know about this vaccine?


Hepatitis B vaccine will not protect against infection with hepatitis A, C, and E, or other viruses that affect the liver. It may also not protect against hepatitis B if you are already infected with the virus, even if you do not yet show symptoms.

Vaccination with hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all adults and children who are at risk of getting hepatitis B. Risk factors include: having more than one sex partner in 6 months; being a homosexual male; having sexual contact with infected people; having cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis C; using intravenous (IV) drugs; being on dialysis or receiving blood transfusions; working in healthcare or public safety and being exposed to infected blood or body fluids; being in the military or traveling to high-risk areas; and living with a person who has chronic hepatitis B infection.


The hepatitis B vaccine is given in a series of shots. The booster shots are sometimes given 1 month and 6 months after the first shot. If you have a high risk of hepatitis B infection, you may be given an additional booster 2 months after the first shot.


Your individual booster schedule may be different from these guidelines. Follow your doctor's instructions or the schedule recommended by your local health department.


Be sure to receive all recommended doses of this vaccine. You may not be fully protected if you do not receive the full series.


You can still receive a vaccine if you have a minor cold. In the case of a more severe illness with a fever or any type of infection, wait until you get better before receiving this vaccine.


You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.

Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell your doctor if the previous shot caused any side effects.


Becoming infected with hepatitis B is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before receiving this vaccine?


Hepatitis B vaccine will not protect against infection with hepatitis A, C, and E, or other viruses that affect the liver. It may also not protect against hepatitis B if you are already infected with the virus, even if you do not yet show symptoms. You should not receive this vaccine if you have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to any vaccine containing hepatitis B, or if you are allergic to baker's yeast. You also should not receive this vaccine if you have received cancer chemotherapy or radiation treatment in the past 3 months.

If you have any of these other conditions, your vaccine may need to be postponed or not given at all:



  • multiple sclerosis;



  • kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);


  • a bleeding or blood clotting disorder such as hemophilia or easy bruising;




  • a history of seizures;




  • a neurologic disorder or disease affecting the brain (or if this was a reaction to a previous vaccine);




  • an allergy to latex rubber;




  • a weak immune system caused by disease, bone marrow transplant, or by using certain medicines or receiving cancer treatments; or




  • if you are taking a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin).



You can still receive a vaccine if you have a minor cold. In the case of a more severe illness with a fever or any type of infection, wait until you get better before receiving this vaccine.


FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether this vaccine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while receiving the series of hepatitis B vaccines. It is not known whether hepatitis B vaccine passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not receive this vaccine without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How is this vaccine given?


The vaccine is injected into a muscle. You will receive this injection in a doctor's office or other clinic setting.


The hepatitis B vaccine is given in a series of shots. The booster shots are sometimes given 1 month and 6 months after the first shot. If you have a high risk of hepatitis B infection, you may be given an additional booster 2 months after the first shot.


Your individual booster schedule may be different from these guidelines. Follow your doctor's instructions or the schedule recommended by your local health department.


Your doctor may recommend treating fever and pain with an aspirin-free pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, and others) when the shot is given and for the next 24 hours. Follow the label directions or your doctor's instructions about how much of this medicine to take.


It is especially important to prevent fever from occurring if you have a seizure disorder such as epilepsy.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Contact your doctor if you will miss a booster dose or if you get behind schedule. The next dose should be given as soon as possible. There is no need to start over.


Be sure to receive all recommended doses of this vaccine. You may not be fully protected if you do not receive the full series.


What happens if I overdose?


An overdose of this vaccine is unlikely to occur.


What should I avoid before or after receiving this vaccine?


Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity.
