Query about vaccination
I got vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B 4 years back. I do not have a certificate for that. I need to show I am vaccinated for getting admission to US college for higher studies. Should I get vaccinated again or is there some way else?

For Hep B you can check antibody response by measuring serum anti HBsAg level..
For Hepatitis A , vaccine response is usually not measured.
It's not harmful to administer extra dose of Hep a and Hep B vaccine when documentation history is unavailable.
