Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Missense mutations in some small-envelope proteins reduce the activity of antibodies. Therefore, it is very important to follow up on the incidence and types of vaccine-escape mutation (VEM) before and after the introduction of the universal hepatitis B vaccination, which was introduced in Japan in 2016.
