TL;DR: Hepatitis B revaccination might be required for persons vaccinated starting at birth if opportunities for hepatitis B virus exposure exist, and future vaccine recommendations should be based on studies ascertaining protection against clinically significant disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Despite improved anamnestic response, this study still raises concerns about whether children immunized in early infancy will remain protected from hepatitis B as they age into adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Umid M. Sharapov,Karine Kentenyants,Justina Groeger,Henry Roberts,Scott D. Holmberg,Melissa G. Collier +5 more
