Summary
Brief summary
prisoners are among high risk groups for hepatitis B infection considering their high risk behaviors including injecting drug use or sexual behaviors. however classic 6 months vaccination might not be able to provide immunity rapidly enough and accelerated vaccination regimens can be of value in this situation.
