An Evaluation of Hepatitis A Seroprevalence and Vaccination Status in Patients with HIV/AIDS: Data from A 20-year Period

Abstract

The hepatitis A vaccination rate was determined to be 16.9%, and serology was examined in 60% of the patients after vaccination. The response to vaccination was determined to be 91.6% in the patients with serology examination. Conclusion: Although improvements in sanitation and vaccination in childhood have provided a decrease in HAV seropositivity, the key populations must be informed about vaccination and vaccination adherence is ensured to prevent small outbreaks.
