Abstract | Hepatitis B vaccination can provide long-term protection against transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV). An article recently published in Human Vaccine & Immunotherapeutics reported that 3.5% (5/143) of the individuals who had been successfully vaccinated against hepatitis B at infancy became positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) at their young adulthood during a period of four years, indicating that hepatitis B vaccination appears to have no long-term protection. We concern on the exceptional results in that article since the critical data are lacking, questionable, or very implausible. We consider that any exceptional data should be validated as far as possible before the data are used to obtain a conclusion. |
