Medical students are frequently at risk of being infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV) via occupational exposure to infected blood or body fluids. In 2002, the Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital provided screening tests for HBV serology to all medical students for a vaccination campaign against the infection. There were 1,165 medical students tested. Eight hundred and eleven (69.6%) students had immunity by previous vaccination, but more importantly 212 (18.2%) had no immunity and required vaccination. Most of the students who needed to be vaccinated were in the pre-clinical year (82.5%). Moreover, the students in the pre-clinical year who had previous vaccination had a 2.2 times greater risk of having negative anti-HBs than the students in the clinical year (OR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.4-3.5). This is because they might have been vaccinated when they were young and the antibody waned overtime.
医学生经常面临因职业接触受感染血液或体液而感染乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)的风险。2002年,诗里拉吉医院医学院为所有医学生提供了HBV血清学筛查测试,以开展针对该感染的疫苗接种活动。共有1165名医学生接受了检测。811名(69.6%)学生因之前接种过疫苗而具有免疫力,但更重要的是,212名(18.2%)学生没有免疫力,需要接种疫苗。大多数需要接种疫苗的学生处于临床前学年(82.5%)。此外,临床前学年中之前接种过疫苗的学生抗-HBs呈阴性的风险是临床学年学生的2.2倍(OR = 2.2,95% CI = 1.4 - 3.5)。这是因为他们可能在年幼时接种过疫苗,随着时间推移抗体逐渐减弱。
