Reduction in hepatitis B virus seroprevalence among U.S.-born children of foreign-born Asian parents-Benefit of universal infant hepatitis B vaccination
Shuler CM , Fiore AE , Neeman R , Bell BP , Kuhnert W , Watkins S , Kilgour K , Arnold KE . Vaccine 2009 27 (43) 5942-7 We demonstrate that after implementation of recommendations for universal infant hepatitis B vaccination, HBV infection prevalence among children of foreign-born Asian parents in Georgia declined dramatically; horizontal transmission of infection within households has occurred infrequently; and the vast majority of infants and children have received the recommended hepatitis B vaccinations. These results provide evidence of the success of the hepatitis B infant vaccination program and highlight its potential impact on reducing chronic HBV infection morbidity and mortality among U.S. populations at high risk. |
