An all Wales database to support the appropriate vaccination of babies born to mothers with hepatitis B infection has been developed by Public Health Wales.
This report summarises uptake and timeliness of the first three doses of hepatitis B immunisation and trends in babies who were born to hepatitis B positive mothers during 2013 and were notified to Public Health Wales Health Protection Team. Uptake and timeliness of the fourth dose of hepatitis B immunisation in babies born to hepatitis B positive mothers in 2012 is also presented.
Background
The data in this report are taken from the All Wales Neonatal Hepatitis B immunisation database. The database was developed by Public Health Wales to assist the Public Health Wales Health Protection Team in the monitoring and follow up of hepatitis B immunisation in babies born to hepatitis B positive mothers. The database also allows the Public Health Wales Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre to monitor uptake and timeliness of hepatitis B vaccination in neonates and young children born to infected mothers. Data contained in this report were extracted on 1 May 2014.
