Impact of the National Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Programme in the Republic of Korea: A retrospective registry-based cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: A substantial number of infants have been prevented from hepatitis B since the PHBPP was launched in the Republic of Korea. Continued efforts to promote the programme, an integrated approach to maximising its coverage, a risk-stratified strategy, and innovations in logistics could further reduce perinatal HBV transmission.
