• A)This is not a problem because the second dosage is just extra protection.Your immune status would be very high.
• B)The one dosage is not enough because it only activated humoral immunity.The second dosage is to then activate cell-mediated immunity.The combination of the two immune responses gives you 100% coverage of immunity to hepatitis
• C)Not a problem because at any time--in a year,5 years,etc.--you can go get the booster vaccine for hepatitis A and be fully covered by immunity.
