OBJECTIVES: The study determined the knowledge of Hepatitis B vaccine, vaccination status and associated factors among healthcare workers in public secondary health facilities in the Delta Central Senatorial District, Nigeria.
DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.
SETTINGS: Healthcare workers employed in public secondary health facilities in the Delta Central District.
PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred and sixteen participants.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Knowledge of the Hepatitis B vaccine, vaccination status, and predictors of vaccine uptake.
RESULTS: Majority of the participants (78.0%) had good knowledge about the Hepatitis B vaccine. One hundred and seventeen participants (42.6%) were fully vaccinated. Age, sex, marital status, education level, cadre, and knowledge of HBV were significantly associated with vaccination status (p < 0.05). Factors associated with low uptake included being female [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.884; 95% CI 1.128-3.147], being a nurse (AOR 0.228; 95% CI: 0.071-0.737) and poor knowledge (AOR: 0.404; 95% CI: 0.184-0.889).
CONCLUSION: This study showed a high level of knowledge about Hepatitis B vaccine, and a suboptimal vaccination rate among healthcare workers.
FUNDING: No funding was acquired for the present research.
