Need to take special care of non-responders to hepatitis B vaccination among health-care workers, students and chronic patients.

Abstract:

:Both our research and that published by Sticchi et al. on immunological memory against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in health-care workers (HCWs) vaccinated as infants or adolescents confirm that in those testing negative after the primary course, one additional (fourth) booster dose is able to elicit an anti-HBs response in >85% subjects. The fifth and the sixth doses further contribute substantially to a high overall response rate. The rate of subjects showing an anamnestic response after the booster dose was almost six-fold higher in HCWs compared to chronic patients. Since universal vaccination in Italy resulted in a significant decrease in HBV infections, special attention and testing should be addressed to those affected by chronic diseases.
