Hepatitis B Question on Level of Antibody (Immunity)?

I went for a vaccination a few months ago. Just had a blood test a few days ago. Results were:
Hepatitis Bs Antigen ; Non Reactive
Hepatitis Bs Antibody; REACTIVE > 1000
Unit: mIU/mL
Ref.Range > 10 Reactive
The doctor told me I was immune but i forgot to ask the following questions:
Does it means i have more or less than 1000mIU/mL of antibody?
Is having 1000mIU/mL of antibody normal?
Does it mean I am immune for life?
Thank You

WOW!! You are super immune!! The "Ref.Range > 10 Reactive" means that if that number is 10 or greater you are immune to Hep. B. Your number is 1000!! Wow! You will never have to get the Hep B series again. Me however My number was 5 I had to get the series again... :-(

You will definitely not have to worry about hepatitis b infection.
No one knows how long a vaccination to hepatitis b will last.
I would check the antibody level every year to make sure.
I also am in the health care profession, and was told this.

You may consider getting a vaccination for hepatitis a.
It is now available.

I got the same results when I was vaccinated and my doctor told me that it is unlikely that I would ever need a booster. You are lucky to have had such good results as it is rare.
