Although hepatitis B vaccine has been available in the United States since 1982, acute and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a public health problem. The comprehensive national strategy to prevent HBV transmission includes hepatitis B vaccination of adolescents, particularly in communities with high rates of injecting-drug use, teenage pregnancy, and/or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, vaccination of adolescents may be difficult because of their lack of routine health-care visits. This report describes hepatitis B vaccination programs for adolescents and preadolescents in schools and other settings in California, Louisiana, and Oregon during 1992-1994.
尽管自1982年以来美国就有乙肝疫苗，但急性和慢性乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）感染仍然是一个公共卫生问题。预防HBV传播的全面国家战略包括对青少年进行乙肝疫苗接种，特别是在注射吸毒、青少年怀孕和/或性传播疾病（STD）发生率高的社区。然而，由于青少年缺乏常规的医疗保健就诊，对他们进行疫苗接种可能会很困难。本报告描述了1992 - 1994年期间加利福尼亚州、路易斯安那州和俄勒冈州在学校和其他场所针对青少年和青春期前儿童开展的乙肝疫苗接种项目。
