  • Title: Uptake of hepatitis B vaccination amongst West Midlands radiologists.
    Author: Holland P, Hutchinson CE.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1992 May; 45(5):335-7. PubMed ID: 1387600.
    Abstract:
    A postal survey of 150 radiologists within the West Midlands Regional Health Authority was undertaken to obtain information about hepatitis B vaccination uptake and its relationship, if any, to their involvement in interventional radiology. Overall, 64% were vaccinated, the rate being higher amongst trainees (81%). No significant relationship existed between vaccination and regular involvement in interventional radiology. Few side effects were reported by radiologists (11%). Failure to seroconvert occurred in 3.5%. A telephone survey throughout the region suggests that many Occupational Health Departments still believe radiologists are not at risk from hepatitis B and therefore do not warrant, and are not invited for, vaccination.
