Abstract

Hepatitis B vaccination is considered the most effective way to prevent Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and HBV-related diseases. Since 1992, World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that nations should have the three-dose primary series of Hepatitis B vaccine in national immunization schedules. WHO set a goal for a global downgrade in hepatitis-related mortality of 65% and a rate of 90% reduction in new infections by 2030. A cross-sectional study of 459 students of Faculty of public health at university of medicine and pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City between April and June 2022. There were 30.3% students received the three doses of the HBV vaccine. The rate of full vaccination among students is quite low, which showed that the management and health education programs need to be implemented more regularly to increase the rate of HBV vaccination.
