Key Points

This research aims to estimate hepatitis A immunity levels and the associated outbreak risk among men who have sex with men (MSM) in New South Wales.
Data collection was conducted among MSM in New South Wales during 2017-2018.
Immunity levels were assessed using serological testing for hepatitis A antibodies.
Outbreak risk was analyzed using epidemiological modeling techniques.
Estimated immunity levels among MSM were found to be below the recommended threshold, highlighting potential vulnerability to outbreaks.
Increased outbreak risk was identified, with specific high-risk behaviors correlating to lower immunity rates.
Findings suggest that targeted vaccination campaigns are necessary to improve immunity among this population.

Study estimates hepatitis A immunity and outbreak risk among MSM, indicating public health concerns.
