Abstract:
Hepatitis B infection is usually higher among health workers than the general
population, particularly in the sub-Saharan region. WHO recommends vaccination for all
health care workers (HCWs) against the highly infectious, blood borne virus: HBV.
However, previous studies reported that knowledge of HCWs toward the hepatitis B
infection, Hepatitis B vaccine and their vaccination coverage was low and vary among HCWs
in different settings.
