The UK is currently considering the introduction of universal hepatitis B vaccination. This study of determinants of vaccine uptake among school based adolescents shows that living in areas of high deprivation, commonly associated with injecting drug risk behaviours, was the most important factor, with statistically significant lower odds of receiving three doses. This was less pronounced for receipt of two doses. Thus, there are implications for future policy; if universal vaccination is approved, a licensed two dose schedule would be most appropriate in this setting.
英国目前正在考虑推行全民乙型肝炎疫苗接种。这项针对在校青少年疫苗接种决定因素的研究表明，生活在通常与注射吸毒风险行为相关的高度贫困地区是最重要的因素，接受三剂疫苗的几率在统计学上显著较低。对于接受两剂疫苗的情况，这种影响则不那么明显。因此，这对未来政策有启示意义；如果全民疫苗接种获得批准，在这种情况下，有许可的两剂接种方案将是最合适的。
