Completed
- Conditions
- Hepatitis B
- Interventions
- Biological: HEPLISAV

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluate the changes in cellular responses and gene expression patterns in serial blood samples collected from healthy older adults after vaccination with HEPLISAV. Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28 Determine which of these changes correlate with the development of protective levels of antibody (anti-HBs >/= 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL) to hepatitis B virus (HBV). Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28
