| Popis: | INTRODUCTION: Current U.S. recommendations state that newborns weighing ≥2,000 grams should receive a birth dose of hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine, yet approximately one quarter do not receive this first dose as scheduled. The relationship between timely receipt of the first HepB vaccine and other early childhood vaccines remains unclear. METHODS: Washington State newborns (birth weight ≥2,000 grams) who received birth hospitalization care at an urban academic medical center between 2008 and 2013 were included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess whether HepB vaccine receipt during the birth hospitalization was associated with completing the seven-vaccine series by 19 months, adjusting for select sociodemographic, clinical, and birth hospitalization characteristics. Analyses were conducted in 2017–2018. RESULTS: Of the 9,080 study participants, 75.5% received HepB vaccine during the birth hospitalization, and 53.6% completed the seven-vaccine series by 19 months. Overall, 60.0% of infants vaccinated against HepB during the birth hospitalization completed the seven-vaccine series by 19 months compared with 33.8% of those who were unvaccinated at discharge (p |
