Uptake and Behavioural and Attitudinal Determinants of Immunization in an Expanded Routine Infant Hepatitis B Vaccination Program in British Columbia

Abstract
British Columbia (BC) implemented a universal infant hepatitis B (HB) immunization program in 2001. The study objective was to evaluate HB immunization coverage among the first six-month cohort of eligible infants in the province outside of the Vancouver-Richmond health region and to assess parent/guardian behavioural and attitudinal determinants of HB immunization.
