Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis B Virus Infection: Epidemiology and Vaccination
TL;DR: Making progress towards the elimination of HBV transmission will require sustainable vaccination programs with improved vaccination coverage, practical methods of measuring the impact of vaccination programs, and targeted vaccination efforts for communities at high risk of infection.
