Birth Dose

A cross-sectional study in 63 provinces/cities in Vietnam (2014-2018) was conducted to describe the coverage of hepatitis B vaccine birth dose from 2014-2018 in Vietnam. The results showed that the coverage proportion of Hepatitis B vaccine birth dose (hepB-BD) in Vietnam during 2014-2018 was 73.4%, of which the proportion of hepB-BD with in 24 hours and after 24 hours of births were 68.7% and 4.7%, respectively. There was diffirent between socio-economic areas (p<0.01). The proportions of hepB-BD in Mekong River Delta area and in Northern midlands and mountain area were highest (81.7%) and lowest (57.2%), respectively. The coverage proportion of hepB-BD in Vietnam during 2014-2018 was low, varied unevenly between years and regions/areas. Enhancing the coverage of hepB-BD, especially hepB-BD vaccination within 24 hours of births will be highly recommended.

Background Vertical transmission is usually the cause of increas-ing carrier rates for hepatitis B infection, especially in highly en-demic areas.Objective To determine the serologic patterns of hepatitis B inchildren of HBV carrier/infected mothers.Methods This was a cross sectional study on children of HBVcarrier/infected mothers. Subjects were recruited consecutively andexamined at the Department of Child Health, Cipto MangunkusumoHospital during January–July 2003. Children were included if theywere generally healthy and their parents gave permission. Chil-dren with chronic illness, previous blood transfusions, or drug abusewere excluded.Results Fifty-nine children of 32 HBV carrier/infected mothers wererecruited. HBsAg was positive in 8 children, anti-HBs in 37, andanti-HBc in 4 children. Seventy-three percent of children had beenvaccinated against HBV but only 81% had positive anti-HBs. Ofeighteen children who received hepatitis B vaccine and HBIg atbirth, none was infected. Six out of 25 children who received onlyhepatitis B vaccine were infected.Conclusion HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc were positive in 14%,36%, and 7% of children of HBV carrier/infected mothers, respec-tively

Birth Dose

Background. A birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine will prevent most perinatally acquired infections and offers early protection from horizontal transmission. This article assessed the prevalence of the hepatitis B birth dose and associated factors among children in the District 2 Hospital. Methods. A prospective cross-sectional study between June and December 2017 recruited parents/caregivers of children aged 12–59 months who were randomly selected at the vaccination department in the District 2 Hospital. The structured questionnaire applied was to collect the characteristics of participants and check the vaccination schedule. The birth dose was defined as the hepatitis B vaccine, which was given to children within 24 hours after birth. Additionally, a semistructured questionnaire was used for interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) to assess the risk perceptions and barriers to vaccination. Results. A total of 292 parents/caregivers had a mean age of 32.7 ± 6.8 years; among them, 88.7% were females. Their children had a mean age of 30.3 ± 13.9 months and 71.6% of these children received the hepatitis B birth dose, which correlated with the age of gestation (P<0.05). In-depth interviews and FGDs found that most participants did not know that hepatitis B could be transmitted through childbirth, and barriers that affected the birth dose vaccine included children being sick, premature infants, or reason relating to physicians. Conclusions. The rate of hepatitis B birth dose was low, which resulted from associated factors such as premature birth, likely to be linked with false contraindications and beliefs that, potentially, the 2013 incident is still fresh in people’s minds. Therefore, strategies to implement policies around the hepatitis B birth dose should be in line with current World Health Organization recommendations and strategies to modify current beliefs about vaccination.

Abstract Background In Senegal, studies focusing specifically on vaccination coverage with the Bacille de Calmette et Guérin (BCG) vaccine, the birth dose of oral polio vaccine (OPV zero dose) and the birth dose of hepatitis B (HepB-BD) vaccine are insufficient. This study aimed to highlight vaccination coverages with birth doses and factors associated with timely vaccination in Podor health district. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out from June 19 to 22, 2020. The study population consisted of children aged 12 to 23 months of which 832 were included. A stratified two-stage cluster survey was carried out. The sources of data were home-based records (HBR), health facility registries (HFR) and parental recalls. Timely vaccination refers to any vaccination that has taken place within 24 h after birth. Descriptive analyzes, the chi-square test and logistic regression were performed. Results The crude vaccination coverages with BCG, OPV zero dose and HepB-BD were 95.2%, 88.3% and 88.1%, respectively. Vaccination coverages within 24 h after birth were estimated at 13.9%, 30% and 42.1%, respectively. The factors associated with timely HepB-BD are delivery in a health facility (AOR = 1.55; 95% CI = 1.02–2.40), access to television (AOR = 1.63; 95% CI = 1.16–2.29), weighing (AOR = 3.92; 95% CI = 1.97–8.53) and hospitalization of the newborn immediately after birth (AOR = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.28–0.62). Conclusion Timely administration of birth doses is a challenge in the Podor health district. The solutions would be improving geographic access to health facilities, involving community health workers, raising awareness and integrating health services.
