Prevalence of HBsAg mutants and impact of hepatitis B infant immunisation in four Pacific Island countries.

Vaccine - 29 Jul 2004

Basuni Ashraf A, Butterworth Lesley, Cooksley G, Locarnini S, Carman W F

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Pacific Island countries is amongst the highest in the world. Hepatitis B immunisation has been incorporated into national programmes at various times, often with erratic supply and coverage, until a regionally co-ordinated programme, which commenced in 1995 ensured adequate supply. The effectiveness of these programmes was recently evaluated in four...
