[Vaccination and intensified sanitary regime for prevention of viral hepatitis type B among medical personnel at the Center for Health of the Child].

Paper concerns the question of infections by hepatitis B virus among health care workers. Authors have reported the improvement of epidemiological situation among employees of the Child Health Center in the years 1987-1994 and analysed factors which were the probably cause of improvement (protective vaccination, infection control, and education of workers). In the first year of observation, among ca. 1700 health care workers 32 new hepatitis B infections were noted, while in 1994 there were no hepatitis B cases.
