Abstract

Viral hepatitis B virus infection is a global public health problem. Healthcare workers are most at risk. The objective of this study was to determine the vaccination coverage rate against hepatitis B and to identify risk factors associated with vaccination status among health professionals in the health district of Mali. This was a cross-sectional and analytical study that involved 202 workers in public health structures in the health district of Mali. Data were collected from June 2, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Multivariate analysis was used to look for factors associated with vaccination status. The chi-square test and the confidence intervals at (95%) were calculated for the qualitative variables. A total of 202 healthcare workers (HCWs) were interviewed with an average age of 34.2 years. 21.78% of participants declared a partial or complete vaccination against the hepatitis B virus. Only 12 (5.93%) participants declared having received three doses. Men were the most numerous (70.45%). The lack of information on hepatitis B was 64.97%. Vaccination was associated with the following factors: gender (P= 0.011), occupation (p= 0.009)), and fear of being contaminated in the event of BEA (p = 0.000). This study shows that only 21.78% of respondents know they are vaccinated. Lack of information on hepatitis B (64.97%) was the main cause of non-vaccination on HBV.
