This study examined hepatitis B vaccination completion among 51 adolescents recruited from a primary care clinic. Seventy-one percent completed the series. Completion was not related to demographic characteristics or attitudinal measures at the first shot. Few opportunities for vaccination were missed. Inconvenience appears to be a factor in failure to complete the series.
