Immunisation after hepatitis B polyvalent vaccination among children in South Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated that the rate of seroprotection in the current vaccination programme against HBV in DRC was lower than desirable but comparable to rates reported in some other African countries. Further studies are needed to assess this finding and to evaluate ways to optimise the seroprotection rate. PMID: 31131798 [PubMed - in process]
