Abstract
A booster dose of HB vaccine may be insufficient to induce immunological response in healthy adolescents who had undetectable prebooster anti-HBs titers or who were of Malay-Polynesian ethnicity. Responses to booster vaccination are probably modified by recent cigarette smoking and/or betel-quid chewing.
