Preterm infants from areas endemic for hepatitis B may need a four-dose schedule instead of the currently recommended three doses of hepatitis B vaccine, researchers from India report.
Dr. N. K. Arora and colleagues from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi studied the response to hepatitis B vaccine in 60 term infants with intrauterine growth retardation and 82 premature infants. Infants born before 37 weeks of gestation were considered premature, while those born at term with weights below the 10th percentile were considered to have intrauterine growth retardation (term-IUGR).
