Resumo
To evaluate the predictor factors for nonacceptance
of hepatitis B vaccine among low-income
adolescent students in the Goiânia Metropolitan
Region, Goiás State, Brazil. In this study,
304 HBV-susceptible individuals enrolled in two
schools were interviewed, and the HBV vaccine was
offered. Only 195 (64%) of adolescents accepted
the first dose of vaccine. On the other hand, 182/
195 (93.3%) received the full HBV vaccine scheme.
School factors played a role in vaccine acceptance,
as School B and night classes were independently
associated with non-acceptance of hepatitis B vaccination.
The findings of this study ratify the low
acceptance of hepatitis B vaccine among adolescents,
highlighting the need for health education
programs aiming at this group for hepatitis B vaccinations,
while buttressing the importance of
school-based vaccination strategies for attaining
full HBV immunization of this target population.
