Addressing vaccination gaps among healthcare workers in sub-Saharan Africa: the role of mandatory Hepatitis B vaccination.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses a significant public health threat, particularly in developing countries with high endemicity but poor vaccination among healthcare workers (HCWs). Needlestick injuries increase HCWs' risk, yet only about 42% of HCWs are fully vaccinated compared to 97% in high-income countries. Challenges to vaccine uptake include availability, demanding schedules with frequent unit rotations hindering access, high cost of acquiring shots, and stock shortages resulting in missed opportunities. Mandatory, cost-free HBV vaccinations for HCWs, supported by legislation, international aid, and digital reminders, could ensure self-protection and safety while contributing to the global objective of eradicating HBV by 2030.
