Overview

Cross-sectional study finds 77.2% prevalence of anti-HBs in healthcare trainees, indicating vaccination awareness is crucial.

Key Points

  • 77.2% of healthcare trainees showed prevalence of anti-HBs ≥10 mIU/mL after exposure.
  • Awareness of hepatitis B immunity is essential in resource-limited healthcare settings.
  • Self-reported vaccination status was compared against serological findings.
  • Data suggests that widespread vaccination leads to significant immunity among young healthcare workers.
