Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B vaccination is crucial for healthcare workers in Nigeria due to their exposure to potentially infectious body fluids, and a study was conducted to assess their vaccination status and risk factors.
- A total of 857 healthcare workers participated, with findings indicating that while most (83.8%) recognized their risk of Hepatitis B, only 42.0% were fully vaccinated, and 28.9% had not received any doses at all.
- Factors that contributed to a lack of vaccination included being under 25, working as a nurse or health attendant, and being from the Southeast region of Nigeria.
