Abstract
In a setting where there exists a subtype mismatch between vaccine and circulating genotype, the vaccine was largely effective in preventing chronic infection but sub-optimal against any infection. The implications of a high prevalence of anti-HBc seropositivity in this population are unclear and require further study. The fact that anti-HBc seropositivity was strongly associated with remote dwelling suggests ongoing viral exposure in remote settings.
