在过去的20年里，美国每年至少有25万人感染乙肝病毒。慢性乙肝病毒感染者患肝癌的风险更高。在来自乙肝病毒流行率较高的国家的移民中，慢性乙肝感染率高在很大程度上是因为他们肝癌的发病率很高。在未感染的人群中，可通过接种乙肝疫苗预防乙肝和乙肝相关性肝癌。在这篇文章中，作者从德克萨斯州休斯敦和加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县对亚洲和太平洋岛民儿童的调查中检查了乙肝疫苗覆盖率。
For the past 20 years, the hepatitis B virus (HBV) has infected at least 250,000 persons annually in the United States. Persons with chronic HBV infection are at increased risk for liver carcinoma. Among immigrants to the United States from countries with high HBV endemicity, high rates of chronic HBV infection account in large part for their high incidence rates of liver carcinoma. Among those who have not been infected, hepatitis B and hepatitis B–related liver carcinoma can be prevented through hepatitis B vaccine immunizations. In this article, the authors examine hepatitis B vaccine coverage rates from surveys of Asian and Pacific Islander children in Houston, Texas and Los Angeles County, California.
