Response to HBV vaccine in relation to vaccine dose and anti-HCV positivity: a New South Wales correctional facilities’ study

Vaccination Coverage among Prisoners: A Systematic Review

“…The methods used to investigate the vaccination status of the inmates were: serological testing ( n = 10) [ 20 , 21 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 35 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 46 ], the use of questionnaires ( n = 5) [ 28 , 33 , 37 , 38 , 40 ], the combination of both ( n = 3) [ 26 , 31 , 36 ], the screening of institutional databases ( n = 5) [ 27 , 29 , 30 , 32 , 34 ], or directly by conducting a survey ( n = 5) [ 19 , 22 , 39 , 41 , 43 ].…”

“…The aim of the studies was to evaluate systematic vaccination or relevant update of the adult vaccination program ( n = 21) [ 19 , 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ], to explore the coverage of risk groups ( n = 7) [ 20 , 23 , 36 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], including in some studies vaccination status at the time of admission to prison ( n = 6) [ 20 , 24 , 35 , 37 , 43 , 46 ]. The risk groups studied were IDUs and hepatitis C positive (HCV) in the HBV studies [ 23 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], and men who have sex with men in a combined HAV/HBV immunization study [ 19 ] and in another HAV immunization study [ 20 ]. In 11 studies (39.2%), exclusively men were included [ 19 , 21 , 25 , 29 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 41 , …”

The most studied vaccination coverage was HBV ( n = 21) [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 42 , …”

“…Vaccination coverage in prison inmates has been a subject of limited interest. Most studies deal with HBV and its direct relationship with a risk group (IDUs or HCV positive inmates) [ 42 , 43 , 44 ]. In 2016, the World Health Assembly set as a goal eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030, including a 95% reduction in new HBV infections through improved vaccine coverage [ 47 ].…”

Response to Hepatitis B Vaccine in HIV‐1–Positive Subjects Who Test Positive for Isolated Antibody to Hepatitis B Core Antigen: Implications for Hepatitis B Vaccine Strategies

“…HCV-positive individuals have been found to have slower response rates and lower antibody titers than HCV-negative individuals, after receiving other immunogens, such as hepatitis A vaccine [19]. Previous studies of the effect of HCV status on response to hepatitis B vaccine in HIV-1-negative individuals have yielded conflicting results [19][20][21][22][23][24], and it has been proposed that variable schedules and doses of hepatitis B vaccine may be important in explaining these conflicting results [20]. To our knowledge, the present study is the first to evaluate the effect of HCV status on response to hepatitis B vaccine in an HIV-1-infected population.…”
