Hepatitis B immunization among adolescents.
Prior to this year, little has been written regarding the immunization of the adolescent population against hepatitis B. Most studies have focused on the immunization of infants, children, and adults, highlighting concerns about adolescent compliance with such an immunization program. The body of literature about hepatitis B immunization among adolescents has grown, and there is much to learn in preparation for the implementation of the immunization Practices Advisory Committee's most recent recommendation to immunize all 11- and 12-year-old children in the United States who have not previously been immunized against hepatitis B.
