Hepatitis B vaccines are now available for people at high risk of infection. Injecting drug users are at particular risk. A UK national survey of statutory drug treatment facilities was conducted to assess what screening and vaccination procedures were offered to drug takers. Of the respondents 64% did not screen for hepatitis B and 71% did not offer vaccination to hepatitis B negative individuals. However, 63% respondents said they would advise vaccination for injecting drug users who continued to share. Fifty-eight per cent thought that the partners of hepatitis B positive clients should be screened and 50% thought that vaccination of partners was advisable. A policy of screening and vaccination for hepatitis B is recommended.
乙型肝炎疫苗现已可供感染风险高的人群使用。注射吸毒者面临特别的风险。英国对法定戒毒治疗机构进行了一项全国性调查，以评估为吸毒者提供了哪些筛查和疫苗接种程序。在受访者中，64%未进行乙型肝炎筛查，71%未为乙型肝炎阴性者提供疫苗接种。然而，63%的受访者表示，他们会建议为仍在共用针头的注射吸毒者接种疫苗。58%的人认为乙型肝炎阳性患者的性伴侣应接受筛查，50%的人认为为性伴侣接种疫苗是可取的。建议实施乙型肝炎筛查和疫苗接种政策。
