== Hepatitis B == If the person exposed is an [[HBsAg]] positive source (a known responder to [[hepatitis B vaccine|HBV vaccine]]) then if exposed to [[hepatitis B]] a booster dose should be given. If they are in the process of being vaccinated or are a non-responder they need to have [[hepatitis B immune globulin]] (HBIG) and the vaccine. For known non-responders HBIG and the vaccine should be given whilst those in the process of being vaccinated should have an accelerated course of HBV vaccine.{{citation needed|date=July 2011}}<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Post-exposure Prophylaxis Hepatitis B |url=http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthCondition/condition/14/188/114/post-exposure-prophylaxis-hepatitis-b |access-date=2022-05-25 |website=conditions.health.qld.gov.au |language=en |archive-date=2022-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220304213919/http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthCondition/condition/14/188/114/Post-exposure-Prophylaxis-Hepatitis-B |url-status=live }}</ref>
