Immunization status and factors influencing hepatitis B vaccination of preterm infants in three provinces of China, 2019 to 2021
HepB-BD coverage levels in three provinces of China were less than the target of 90%, especially among premature infants born to mothers with unknown HBsAg status and at hospitals below the county level. Screening of pregnant women should be a universal normal standard. Hepatitis B vaccination training should be strengthened in hospitals to improve the HepB-BD vaccination rate of premature infants and to effectively prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus.
