Sexually active men who have sex with men are recommended to receive hepatitis B vaccine if they are not immune

Susceptible sexually active men who have sex with men are recommended to receive hepatitis B vaccine.

Adult-formulation hepatitis B vaccine should be given in a 3-dose schedule. See Table. Monovalent hepatitis B vaccines for adolescents and adults in Vaccines, dosage and administration.

Levels of antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen should be checked after the vaccination course. See Serological testing after hepatitis B vaccination.

The combination hepatitis A-hepatitis B vaccine may be appropriate for men who have sex with men if they are not immune to either disease. This is because they have an increased risk of both conditions. See Table. Combination hepatitis A-hepatitis B vaccines in Vaccines, dosage and administration.
