Core Tip	Testing for hepatitis B virus (HBV) not only serves as a means to identify HBV-infected individuals, but also those who are non-immunized and could further benefit from HBV vaccination. In this mass HBV-screening study within the Paris metropolitan region, vaccine uptake was achieved in 11% of non-immunized patients and was deemed poor. Strategies to increase vaccination after testing need to be considered.
