“…Universal infant HBV vaccination was only introduced in Thai Binh Province in 2000, and there are no specific HBV vaccination programs for adolescents or high-risk individuals. The positive trend in HBV prevalence with increasing age found in both our study and other Vietnamese studies 14,28 suggests ongoing HBV horizontal transmission. Previous Vietnamese urban-based studies have found associations between HBsAg and history of surgery, using reused syringes, dental procedures, acupuncture, sharing razors and having manicure at beauty shops.…”

“…1 Our population-based, age-stratified serosurvey of HBV markers in Vietnam 2 indicated a very high seroprevalence of HBV infection commencing early in life. It confirmed the findings of other published [3][4][5] and unpublished surveys, and highlighted the need for a program of immunization beginning at birth. However, delivery of vaccines to newborns in Vietnam is not easy because the rate of home birth is high (average ‫ס‬ 21.3%, and up to 56.1% in the northern highlands 6 ) and access of health workers in rural areas can be very difficult.…”

“…Australian community‐based HBV seroprevalence studies among immigrants from APR countries are not available; however, studies conducted in several other countries including United Kingdom, Canada, and United States show HBsAg prevalence among Asian immigrants/refugees to be very similar to HBsAg prevalence in countries of origin 65–77 . For example, HBsAg prevalence among Vietnamese immigrants/refugees in these countries was 10.0–16.6%, 65–70 reflecting HBsAg prevalence in population‐based studies in Vietnam (10.0–19.5%) 17,18,31,78–86 …”
