【 摘 要 】

Problem statement: Hepatitis B comprises one of the major health problems worldwide. Health Care Workers (HCW) are a group at risk for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. Infection with hepatitis B virus has become a vaccine-preventable disease. Vaccination against Hepatitis B Virus infection (HBV) is safe and effective. The aim of this study is evaluation the immunologic response of booster dose of Hepatitis B vaccine in none and low responder health care workers and effects of some host-related factors. Approach: In a cross sectional descriptive analytic study carried out on the medical staff of Tabriz Shahid Madani Hospital in 2009-2010, we evaluated the immunologic response of booster dose of Hepatitis B vaccine in none and low responder health care workers and effects of some host-related factors. Results: Of 331 studied health care workers, 123 people (37.2%) were male and 208 people (62.8%) female. The mean antibody titer in the studied medical staff was 304.07
