If you've received three hepatitis B vaccinations and still show no immunity, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention after a needle stick injury. At the emergency department, you may receive a dose of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) along with a booster dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. This combination can help provide immediate passive immunity while your body responds to the booster. Follow-up testing and vaccination may also be recommended.
