The aim of the study was to compare the responses of homosexual men (HM) receiving a standard course of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with those of healthcare workers vaccinated in the same hospital over the same period. Boosters for inadequate responders and repeat courses for non-responders were given. Forty of 61 (75.4%) of HM completing full follow-up were successfully vaccinated, compared with 128 of 129 (99.2%) female and 94 of 96 (97.9%) male health care workers (P<0.001). The response to hepatitis-B vaccination in healthy homosexual men is poor and significantly lower than healthcare workers vaccinated and followed up according to the same protocol.
该研究的目的是比较接受标准疗程重组乙肝疫苗的男同性恋者(HM)与同期在同一家医院接种疫苗的医护人员的反应。对无足够反应者给予加强针,对无反应者给予重复疗程。完成全面随访的61名HM中有40名(75.4%)成功接种疫苗,相比之下,129名女性医护人员中有128名(99.2%),96名男性医护人员中有94名(97.9%)(P<0.001)。健康男同性恋者对乙肝疫苗的反应较差,明显低于按照相同方案接种并随访的医护人员。
