I’ve had close contact with someone who’s recently been diagnosed with hepatitis B. What should I do?
Assuming they’re not already immune (either from being vaccinated or having hepatitis B in the past), someone who’s had contact with an infected person that puts them at risk can be protected by being vaccinated. This should be as soon as possible, ideally within 7 days, but possibly within 14 days of contact with the infected person. A doctor can give advice on this.
