INDICES> Hepatitis B vaccine target groups
------------------------------------------

dear friends,

Should hepatitis b vaccine be given to 11-20 years group compulsorily?
What is the carrier percentage in this age group? what is rationality in
promoting the hep.B vaccine for older and low risk group where the
carrier state is low?

thanks
