BACKGROUND Health care workers (HCWs) are at greatest risk for acquiring Hepatitis B Virus infection because of needle stick injuries (NSIs) and occupational exposure to potentially infectious blood and body fluids as they deal with patients with different infections. Hepatitis B vaccination protects against the infection. Screening and vaccination against Hepatitis B is recommended for all HCWs. OBJECTIVE I. To estimate the prevalence of Hepatitis B vaccination among HCWs of Private Aga Khan Secondary care hospitals at Sindh. II. To determine factors influencing Hepatitis B vaccination among HCWs of Private Aga Khan Secondary care hospitals at Sindh. METHODS A cross sectional study will be conducted in two Aga Khan Secondary care hospitals at Sindh (Aga Khan Maternal and Child Care Center Hyderabad and Aga Khan Hospital for Women, Karaimabad, Karachi). Sample size calculated is 264 with 10% non-respondent rate. A pre-tested structured questionnaire will be devised to collect information from study participants, data will be collected from HCWs of the designated hospitals. Analysis will be done using STATA 15. RESULTS NA as it is a protocol CONCLUSIONS he present work will help in identifying overall vaccination coverage and factors influencing HBV vaccination coverage, increasing access to vaccination will improve Hepatitis B vaccine coverage among HCWs that will enable them to remain safe from occupational exposure on daily basis not only this but they will have less chance to acquire HBV or transmit infection to others. CLINICALTRIAL NA. This is not a trial
