    Author: Ler Z.
    Journal: Vojnosanit Pregl; 1991; 48(3):201-5. PubMed ID: 1835220.
    Abstract:
    The intermediate prevalence of HBV infection (28.6%) was found in the staff of the Sarajevo Military Hospital without any significant difference related to the profession of the examinees. The vaccination against hepatitis B was accepted by 23 (18.3%) of 126 candidates and it was performed with 3 doses of "ENGERIX-B" vaccine. The protective levels of anti-HBs antibodies (10 IG/1) were found in 21 (91.3%) vaccinated persons a month after the third dose had been given. It was concluded that the vaccination is justified in collectives with the registered intermediate prevalence of HBV infection. In collectives with high prevalence, the vaccination is recommended only for newly employed workers.
