Never been screened nor vaccinated for Hepatitis B; or 2. Have been tested, but are not (or not sure whether they are) sufficiently protected against HBV (i.e. by immunity, or by vaccination and subsequently testing for anti-HBs); or 3.

Exclusion criteria

If they have visited a specialist or the MPHS (recently, i.e. within 4 years before date), we will consider them to have received appropriate follow-up; or 2.
