Because you can get Hep B other ways besides sexual contact. I teach in a jail 2 nights a week and had to have the Hep B series--all the corrections teachers were required to--because the incidence of Hep B is so high in the prison population and we could acquire it from, say, blood. Hopefully not from spit, since somone always seems to be hacking and sneezing in my face over there.
