Overview

This investigation evaluates anti-HBS levels in vaccinated healthcare workers, suggesting follow-up for non-responders.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the anti-HBs antibody levels in healthcare workers vaccinated against Hepatitis B.
  • Included 90 previously vaccinated healthcare workers from Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital.
  • Collected data on vaccination history, job description, and age.
  • Measured anti-HBs titres using the ELISA method.
  • 93.34% of participants showed a good immune response to the Hepatitis B vaccine.
  • Some participants maintained anti-HBs levels >100 IU/ml up to 15 years post-vaccination.
  • 6.6% of the healthcare workers were identified as non-responders.
