Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B vaccination rates among healthcare workers in Tanzania are low, especially in primary health facilities, which hinders the expansion of vaccination programs.
- A study in Misungwi and Ilemela districts revealed only 18% of healthcare workers were fully vaccinated, with urban workers in Ilemela showing higher vaccination rates than those in rural Misungwi.
- Factors such as being male, working in urban settings, having more than 2 years of employment, and experiencing needle prick injuries increased the likelihood of getting the vaccine, emphasizing the need for targeted advocacy and resource support to improve vaccine uptake.
