Good day and thank you for posting this question. No, Antacids do not reduce white blood cell count neither do hepatitis B vaccine injection. A repeat of the white blood cell count in a month's time is OK and we will be able to compare. It might be an error from the laboratory.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
