Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause a variety of hepatitis B-related diseases in infected people, and there is no specific drug for treatment. China, with a large population base, is the country with the heaviest burden of HBV infection in the world. Therefore, hepatitis B vaccination is particularly important in the prevention and control of this disease. However, some vaccinees did not produce effective protective immune response after vaccination according to the recommended hepatitis B vaccine immunization schedule. The purpose of this review is to analyze the influential factors of non/low immune response after hepatitis B vaccination from the aspects of organism and vaccine, and explore the mechanism of non/low immune response, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B in China.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
