Getting a Hep B Vaccine,a series of three shots,is a smart move for anyone today. You do not need to be just an IV drug user,medical care worker,or a lab technician to come into contact with the Hep B virus. Although it is a blood to blood contact type pathogen the virus itself can live a couple of weeks outside a host and should an open wound come into contact, remote but still plausible, an infection will birth. Transmissions of this nature have indeed occurred and far more than you would think. The vast majority of viral infections occur from incidental contact. Contact such as touching ones dirty hands to ones nose or mouth after having touch a dirty environmental surface. Virus live on surfaces for varing lengths of time. You do not need to be sneezed on or coughed on from transmission to take place. Transmission alone does not mandate one will get sick. Many folk will not get sick but simply carry viruses and spread them incidentally before their own inmune systems initiate a strong enough antibdy response. Until an active antibody response ensues anyone who is a carrier can spead a virus via incidental contact. The best precaution anyone can take is to wash their hands regularly and actively.
