[Anti-hepatitis B vaccination in health personnel at the Ospedale Maggiore of Milan].
The paper deals with the screening of the staff at the Ospedale Magiore of Milan within the Region-wide program of recommended B Hepatitis vaccination. The HBsAg positive subjects are 3.1% and antiHBs are 32.7%; the susceptibility of the infection decreases with age and working seniority; infection markers are found most frequently in subjects working in the Dialysis Ward. The health staff informed about the professional risk of infection is still reluctant for this immunization; in fact only 62.5% of susceptible accepted the vaccine. Seroconversion was observed in 89.8%; collateral reactions to vaccine were of minor importance and short duration.
