Hbv caccine contains hbsag, and it could give a false positive test for hbsag upto a few days after vaccination in a few patients. However since your hbsag is quite high, I am afraid you may have a real hbv infection.
You may take a new hbv test to rule out false positive result.

You are welcome, you may also take Hbeag test, and hepatitis a test as well. If you happen to be negative for hepatitis a, then you have to take the hepatitis a vaccine to protect you from future  exposure to hepat.a.

If you are already infected the vaccine will not help, unfortunately. May be you need to test the full hbv package before continuing with further vaccination. You may take the following tests: hbv dna quantitative, liver function tests/ALT, AST, liver fibroscan, and ultrasound, etc. You have to do these tests because it is a waste of time and money to continue with the hbv vaccination regimes, if you are already infected with hbv.

Test for hbsag, which is normally used to test if one is infected with hbv. This is to rule out whether the first positive hbsag test is real hbv infection or not.
