    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Vaccinology

    Context:

    • Hepatitis B (HB) poses a significant risk to intravenous drug users.
    • Zurich has implemented a free hepatitis B vaccination program for drug addicts since 1982.
    • Street-based outreach vaccination efforts have been a key component of the program.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the epidemiological data of hepatitis B in the drug addict population in Zurich.
    • To describe the methodology and challenges of the "Streetwork Vaccination" program.
    • To evaluate the impact of vaccination and other harm reduction strategies on HB incidence.

    Summary:

    • 1480 doses of hepatitis B vaccine were administered to 1270 individuals in Zurich up to December 1983.
    • Approximately 700 vaccinations were conducted via street outreach.

  • The study highlights the importance of both immunization and access to sterile injection materials for reducing HB transmission.

    • Impact:

    • The vaccination program has provided crucial public health intervention for a vulnerable population.
    • Understanding the epidemiology and vaccination challenges informs future public health strategies for infectious disease control among drug users.
    • Harm reduction approaches, including access to sterile injecting equipment, are vital alongside vaccination for comprehensive hepatitis B prevention.
