Sociodemographic, clinical and birth hospitalization characteristics and infant Hepatitis B vaccination in Washington State.

CONCLUSIONS: Populations that are typically underserved (e.g., publicly insured, racial/ethnic minorities) had higher odds of receiving HepB vaccine during the birth hospitalization. These findings may aid in identifying high-risk infants who could benefit from targeted interventions to increase initial HepB vaccination. PMID: 30930007 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
