摘要
Dental personnel in London were surveyed for their uptake of hepatitis B vaccine and willingness to provide dental care to carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Most respondents were aware of current recommendations about vaccination, and three fourths of dentists had been vaccinated against HBV. However, only half of dental ancillary staff members had been vaccinated against HBV. Three fourths of the London dentists surveyed, despite their immunity against HBV, were unwilling to treat HBV carriers. © 1990.
