Hepatitis B vaccination strategies tailored to different endemicity levels: Some considerations
چکیده انگلیسی
Hepatitis B is a serious public health problem. Worldwide three different levels of hepatitis B endemicity (high, intermediate and low) can be distinguished. Areas with different levels of endemicity require tailored vaccination strategies to fit the needs for individuals at risk and/or countries, depending on the infection risk per age group, vaccination rate, duration of protection after vaccination, cost effectiveness of vaccination strategies and ease of implementation in the national immunization schedules.This opinion paper evaluates these factors and proposes a combination of infant risk group and universal adolescent vaccination for low endemic countries thus targeting the different groups at risk. A universal infant vaccination schedule starting with a newborn vaccination within 24 h after birth is more appropriate in intermediate- and high-endemic regions.
