Background: Despite completion of the vaccine schedule for hepatitis B virus (HBV), children may display levels of HBV surface antibodies (anti-HBs) that are considered inadequate for sufficient protection (<10 IU/L).
Aims: Our aim was to investigate if age and gap time between HBV vaccine doses may negatively affect the levels of anti-HBs in children, and if these relationships are modified by sex.
Methods: In a high-endemic HBV region of the western Brazilian Amazon we enrolled children who had completed the HBV vaccine schedule.
