摘要
We examined hepatitis B immunization coverage in states with and without middle school entry vaccination requirements. Hepatitis B vaccination was initiated and completed more frequently in states with middle school mandates, although near-universal coverage was not obtained. Nonetheless, establishment of mandates in states without them could significantly reduce hepatitis B transmission. (C) Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2004
