Background: Vaccination against hepatitis B virus (HBV) has led to a worldwide reduction in disease burden and mortality. Vaccine immunogenicity data in transplanted children are limited, and vaccine-induced protection may be reduced. We evaluated HBV vaccination coverage, seroprotection rates, and factors influencing vaccine immunity among pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) patients.
Methods:We retrospectively identified patients ≤21 years of age evaluated for SOT
