- Abstract
The article discusses a research study conducted in Quebec City, Quebec on the need for an adolescent hepatitis B vaccine booster in infant vaccinees in Canada. Research findings presented indicate the seropositivity rate among adolescents after routine vaccination and the capacity of teens to recall an antibody response following exposure to hepatitis B virus. Observations on the loss of immune memory and renewed susceptibility to infection among the study participants are highlighted.
