摘要
Currently, about two-thirds of inmates in NSW correctional facilities have a history of injection drug use, and about half have serological evidence of exposure to hepatitis C virus. The introduction of an accelerated hepatitis B vaccination program (0-1-2 months) in 1998, using a 20 mug/dose vaccine was necessitated by the need to vaccinate eligible inmates in this high-risk environment characterised by rapid client mobility. Since 1999, both 10 and 20 mug doses of vaccine were introduced. We found that sero-response rates were not significantly influenced by HCV antibody status, but were significantly lower in cohorts of inmates vaccinated with the 10 mug dose of vaccine.
