| Core Tip |
Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 2 billion people have been infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Of these, approximately 240 million are chronically infected and at risk of serious illness or death from development of cirrhosis and subsequent progression to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), estimated to cause one million deaths each year worldwide. Prevention and control of HBV infection can therefore make a significant contribution to community health and to saving lives by preventing HCC. This review concerns the major advances in the field of HBV over the last few decades which have resulted in understanding the natural history of HBV infection and the development of effective vaccines against the virus. In the era of universal HBV vaccination coverage, the current growing body of knowledge regarding monitoring and surveillance of HBV vaccination programs and the policy of booster vaccination, several issues have to be evaluated re-garding the vaccination policy and booster doses. In addition, it is worth evaluating vaccine-escape viral mutants, long-term protection and the therapeutic use of HBV vaccine as a promising new strategy for controlling chronic HBV infection.
