abstract: Cross-sectional study conducted among workers of the Family Health Strategy Montes Claros.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the report of vaccination against Hepatitis B, verification of immunization and the factors associated with dosages of anti-HBs.
  
  
  METHODS
  We collected blood samples from those reported that they had one or more doses of the vaccine. We evaluated the association of the dosage of anti- HBs with sociodemographic conditions, occupational and behavioral. The associations were verified by Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis and correlation Spermann by linear regression using SPSS® 17.0.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among the 761 respondents, 504 (66.1%) were vaccinated, 52.5 % received three doses, 30.4 % verified immunization. Of the 397 evaluated for the determination of anti-Hbs, 16.4% were immune.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It was found that longer duration of work was associated with higher levels of anti-HBs, while levels of smoking were inversely associated with anti-HBs. These workers need for vaccination campaigns.
