A two-stage cluster-sampling technique was used to select a representative sample. Sociodemographic information, vaccination history, and epidemiological risk factors were collected using a pre-tested, structured questionnaire.

Seven hundred thirty four (90.8 %) had received at least one dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, and 82.7 % had received three doses, with a 9.0 % dropout rate.
