I'd love to have all those titers. All I know is tests say I'm allergic to cats (points at four cats) and juniper pollen (waves around at New Mexico, a state consisting of 10% juniper pollen by weight).
Hep B is notoriously ambiguous (in that you can have fewer titers than the cutoff and still in practice mount a very strong immune response if exposed. Or not! Immunities are just generally more stochastic than binary, which is unhelpful.)
I discovered some years ago that I'm not immune to hep B either. Apparently that vaccine is less effective than they originally thought. I don't know whether this implies that you should do anything.
Congratulations. I checked my titers recently as well and came out okay (even though, like you, I am in the generation whose measles immunity might have faded).
I got one hep vaccination when I was working at the blind school a few years ago, it was optional for IT staff and I went for it, and got another a couple of years ago. But with the mix of varied immunities that I get from my weekly antibody infusion from 10,000 donors, I have pretty darn good protection.

IMMORTALITY IS JUST A FEW VACCINATIONS AWAY
