We compared the results of two national serosurveys in Australia to evaluate the impact of universal infant vaccination and school-based programs for adolescents. Immunity improved significantly overall, especially in 1-year-olds (40.0% versus 86%; p<0.0001); in adolescents it was significantly higher in regions with established school-based programs (56.6% versus 38.8%; p=0.0008). 6.1% of 1-59-year-olds were positive for HBcAb and 0.7% for HBsAg. We have demonstrated successful implementation of universal infant hepatitis B vaccination in Australia and that school-based programs for adolescents are effective. This experience should be applicable to low prevalence countries in northern Europe which have not implemented universal hepatitis B immunisation.
我们比较了澳大利亚两项全国性血清学调查的结果,以评估普及婴儿疫苗接种和针对青少年的学校项目的影响。总体免疫力有显著提高,尤其是1岁儿童(从40.0%升至86%;p<0.0001);在开展了既定学校项目的地区,青少年的免疫力显著更高(56.6%对38.8%;p=0.0008)。1至59岁人群中,6.1%的人乙肝核心抗体呈阳性,0.7%的人乙肝表面抗原呈阳性。我们证明了澳大利亚成功实施了普及婴儿乙肝疫苗接种,且针对青少年的学校项目是有效的。这一经验应适用于北欧尚未实施普及乙肝免疫接种的低流行率国家。
