Resumo: | The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the hepatitis B vaccination coverage among medical students at a public university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and their compliance with the postvaccination serologic testing recommendations. Of the total of 858 students, 675 (78.7%) participated in the study. Among the participants, 48.9% (95% CI: 45.1% to 52.7%) were vaccinated against hepatitis B (received ≥ 3 doses of the vaccine), 31.6% were not (received 0, 1 or 2 doses), and 19.6% did not know their vaccination status. Hepatitis B vaccination coverage increased from 26.0% among first-year students to 70.6% among sixth-year students while the prevalence of unknown vaccination status decreased from 39.7% among first-year students to 2.4% among sixth-year students. The frequency of unvaccinated students ranged from 23.7% among fifth-year students to 34.4% among first-year students. Only 34.8% of the vaccinated students performed the anti-HBs testing after vaccination. Among these medical students, we found a low adherence to the hepatitis B vaccination and to the postvaccination serologic testing. A comprehensive hepatitis B immunization program should be offered to students at this medical school. |

HEPATITIS B VACCINATION COVERAGE AND POSTVACCINATION SEROLOGIC TESTING AMONG MEDICAL STUDENTS AT A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY IN BRAZIL Cobertura vacinal para a hepatite B e teste sorológico pós-vacinal entre estudantes de medicina de universidade pública no Brasil The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the hepatitis B vaccination coverage among medical students at a public university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and their compliance with the postvaccination serologic testing recommendations. Of the total of 858 students, 675 (78.7%) participated in the study. Among the participants, 48.9% (95% CI: 45.1% to 52.7%) were vaccinated against hepatitis B (received ≥ 3 doses of the vaccine), 31.6% were not (received 0, 1 or 2 doses), and 19.6% did not know their vaccination status. Hepatitis B vaccination coverage increased from 26.0% among first-year students to 70.6% among sixth-year students while the prevalence of unknown vaccination status decreased from 39.7% among first-year students to 2.4% among sixth-year students. The frequency of unvaccinated students ranged from 23.7% among fifth-year students to 34.4% among first-year students. Only 34.8% of the vaccinated students performed the anti-HBs testing after vaccination.

O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi determinar a cobertura vacinal para a hepatite B entre estudantes de medicina de uma universidade pública no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil e a sua adesão às recomendações sobre o teste sorológico pós-vacinal. De um total de 858 estudantes, 675 (78,7%) participaram do estudo. Entre os participantes, 48,9% (IC de 95%: 45,1% a 52,7%) eram vacinados contra a hepatite B (receberam ≥ 3 doses da vacina), 31,6% não eram (receberam zero, uma ou duas doses) e 19,6% não sabiam o seu status vacinal. A cobertura vacinal para a hepatite B aumentou de 26,0% entre os estudantes do primeiro ano para 70,6% entre os estudantes do sexto ano, enquanto a prevalência de status vacinal ignorado diminuiu de 39,7% entre os estudantes do primeiro ano para 2,4% entre os estudantes do sexto ano. A frequência de estudantes não vacinados variou de 23,7% entre os estudantes do quinto ano a 34,4% entre os estudantes do primeiro ano. Apenas 34,8% dos estudantes vacinados realizaram o teste anti-HBs após a vacinação. Entre esses estudantes de medicina encontramos uma baixa adesão à vacinação contra a hepatite B e ao teste sorológico pós-vacinal. Um amplo programa de imunização contra a hepatite B deveria ser oferecido aos estudantes, nessa escola médica. Universidade de São Paulo.
