    A hepatitis B immunization program for healthcare workers in a large city saw low vaccine acceptance at 56%. Understanding reasons for refusal is crucial for improving vaccination rates among at-risk medical personnel.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Immunology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Hepatitis B poses a significant risk to healthcare professionals.
    • Identifying at-risk populations is key for targeted immunization strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a program for identifying at-risk medical and para-medical personnel for hepatitis B immunization.
    • To investigate the reasons behind low vaccine acceptance in this cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • A screening program was implemented in a large provincial city.
    • Hepatitis B vaccine was offered to 177 identified individuals.

    Main Results:

    • Only 56% of the 177 individuals accepted the hepatitis B vaccine.
