Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2011•cambridge.orgWe evaluated hepatitis B vaccination coverage and documentation of antibody to hepatitis B
surface antigen (anti-HBs) concentration among a cohort of healthcare students. Of 4,075
students, 59.8% had documentation of vaccination and 83.8% had anti-HBs concentration
greater than or equal to 10 mIU/mL. Documenting hepatitis B vaccination and anti-HBs
concentration among healthcare students is needed to prevent transmission in healthcare
settings.
