I was like yeah sure I can do that it's probably a good idea to be protected.
But then I did some ancillary googling and I guess it makes you test positive for hepatitis?
Not so sure anymore.
What do you think?

Received any Blood transfusions recently? (likely not) if so the donor's immunoglobulins could cause a problem.
Hmm.. have you had dengue, zika or hepatitis C? (they share epitopes) if so, it could cause a false positive; if they are using serological testings.
There are more advance tests like multiplex assays which are much more accurate but not a very common means of testing.
Have you had any other recent vaccines or a cold or something you have recovered from within the last 6 months?
Since the vaccine prompts the production of HBsAg; surface antigen there are 'rare' cases where people might get a false positive on certain hepatitis tests.
I mean, if you're getting tested soon and are worried about how results might be interpreted, you could mention your vaccination status to your provider; a means of showing you have immunity markers... not infection ones.
I say if you are traveling get the vaccine.
