Measure
Healthcare Worker
Healthcare worker who has previously received at least 5 doses of hepatitis B vaccine with aluminum adjuvant (Recombivax B or Engerix B) and has an antibody to the hepatitis B surface antigen (antiHBs) that is less than 10 mIU/ml. Recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with CpG adjuvant: Each participant will receive two doses of hepB-CpG separated by one month and blood draw to measure antibody to the hepatitis B surface antigen prior to dose 2 and one month after dose 2.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: one month after dose 2 (up to 84 days on study)

Population: 1 participant dropped out of the study prior to the second dose, and 1 participant dropped out of the study prior to data collection post-second dose

Response is defined as AntiHBs \>10 mIU/ml following two doses of hepB-CpG

41 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: one month after dose 2 (up to 84 days on study)

Population: Number of non-responders

A multivariate model will be developed by measuring the proportion of participants who are nonresponders with each risk factor. Potential risk factors include including age, smoking status, sex, diabetes, immunosuppression.
