Abstract:

To improve hepatitis B vaccination among surgeons at our medical center, we instituted a program by which the surgeons were updated regarding vaccine safety and efficacy, and the cost of the vaccine and its administration at “strategic” locations was underwritten by the hospital. The rate of hepatitis B vaccination among surgeons increased from 62% to 89% based on pre- and postintervention surveys.
