Awareness and Practice of Complete Hepatitis B Vaccination and Anti-HBs Testing in Vaccinated Health Care Workers.

Abstract

Hepatitis B is a serious and common infectious disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Health Care Workers (HCW) are at an increased risk of occupational exposure to HBV and the incidence is 2-4 times higher than in the general population. Despite potential risks, awareness and vaccine compliance is poor among the HCWs.
