Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was hyperendemic in Taiwan before the implementation of the universal infant hepatitis B immunization program, which was launched in 1984. Five previous seroepidemiologic surveys were conducted at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years after the launch of the vaccination program. METHODS: We enrolled 3332 subjects younger than 30 years of age, with approximately 100 of...
