Since 2012, universal single-dose HAV vaccination in children aged 3 years and older has been implemented in the Tyva Republic, a region of the Russian Federation. The aim of this prospective non-interventional observational single-center study was to determine the immunological and epidemiological effectiveness of single-dose vaccination against hepatitis A 9 to 11 years after its implementation. The anti-HAV IgG antibodies were determined in two independent cohorts of children who were vaccinated with a single dose of monovalent pediatric inactivated vaccine (HAVRIX 720 EU) in Tyva in 2012 and recruited 9 years (Year 9 Cohort) and 11 years (Year 11 Cohort) after immunization.

Article Synopsis
  • Russia initiated a neonatal vaccination against Hepatitis B (HBV) 20 years ago, followed by catch-up immunizations for those under 60 starting in 2006, and this study evaluates the immunity and infection rates across different regions.
  • Testing of 36,149 volunteers revealed a low HBsAg detection rate of 0.8%, with 2.4% in the Republic of Dagestan, while vaccinated individuals showed less than 0.3% HBsAg detection but a 7.4% rate of ongoing HBV circulation among those under 20 years.
  • Despite a stable prevalence of immune-escape HBsAg variants (around 25%), the wild-type HBV population significantly decreased in size

The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is believed to be a vanishing infection in countries with successful hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination programs. We assessed the current status of HDV infection in Tuva, a region of the Russia that has been highly endemic for HBV. The proportion of HDV-infected patients among HBsAg-positive patients in the regional registry in 2020 was 32.

Article Synopsis
  • * In areas without universal mass vaccination (UMV), seroprevalence has shifted to older age groups, while regions with child vaccination programs saw significant increases in HERD immunity among younger populations.
  • * The findings indicate a need for national implementation of UMV, along with strategies to improve vaccination coverage and conduct catch-up campaigns to sustain the effectiveness of existing programs.
