title: [Adverse reactions to anti-hepatitis B vaccine in hospital personnel: results end experiences].
abstract: It has been studied, by inquiry, the adverse reactions in the hospital personnel vaccinated against Hepatitis B with 3 doses of 20 mcg of the HB-VAX (MSD) vaccine. The 45% of the inquired people referred some kind of the side effects, more frequently after the first vaccinal dose. The local reactions incidency was larger than the general ones, but without any significant differences. The local pain and the asthenia, general malaise and myalgia were the more outstanding symptoms in both cases. The average duration of the adverse reactions was two days, not appearing any disorders in the laboral activity of the vaccinated. In our experience, the anti-Hepatitis B vaccine employed didn't offer superior risk to the observed with antiviral vaccines employed to prevent other diseases.
