VACCINE HEPATITIS B

CAUTION

The multidose vaccines are worded and codified by unit (= 1 dose) to make the order easier.

Therapeutic Action

Recombinant, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (purified), adsorbed vaccine

Indications

Active immunisation against infection caused by hepatitis B virus.

The multidose presentation is intended for vaccination of :

  • newborns in maternity wards
  • staff or teams if the number of people to be vaccinated is high (> 5 people)
  • persons treated for sexual violence if the number of people to be vaccinated is high (> 5 persons)

Remark: Never hesitate to open a vial even if there is only one eligible person to be vaccinated and only multi-dose vials are available.

Orders are always done in number of doses and not in number of vials! (See Preliminary remarks on Vaccines)

The single-dose (monodose) presentation is intended for specific contexts where consumption is very low.

Vaccine sometimes supplied by the Ministry of Health of the country concerned.
