Abstract

A cross-sectional study in 63 provinces/cities in Vietnam (2014-2018) was conducted to describe the coverage of hepatitis B vaccine birth dose from 2014-2018 in Vietnam. The results showed that the coverage proportion of Hepatitis B vaccine birth dose (hepB-BD) in Vietnam during 2014-2018 was 73.4%, of which the proportion of hepB-BD with in 24 hours and after 24 hours of births were 68.7% and 4.7%, respectively. There was diffirent between socio-economic areas (p<0.01). The proportions of hepB-BD in Mekong River Delta area and in Northern midlands and mountain area were highest (81.7%) and lowest (57.2%), respectively. The coverage proportion of hepB-BD in Vietnam during 2014-2018 was low, varied unevenly between years and regions/areas. Enhancing the coverage of hepB-BD, especially hepB-BD vaccination within 24 hours of births will be highly recommended.
