Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

At present, children less than 15 y of age have been regarded as a key group for hepatitis B immunization in China. However, there is not yet special immunization strategy for population above 15 y of age. In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of hepatitis B and immune response to HB vaccine among Chinese college students to uncover the need on universal mass vaccination or booster immunization only for students with HBV vaccination history against hepatitis B in Chinese college students to inform decision making.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: HBV vaccine (Engerix-B, recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen, 20µg/mL/vial, GlaxoSmithKline, Belgium)
