Abstract
Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a serious risk for health care workers (HCWs).

An evaluation of the anti-HBs level in vaccinated persons is a necessary measurement to handle immunization coverage. Material and methods: We evaluated the Anti-HBs level of 100 randomly selected HCWs in an Educational Hospital 6 months after implementing a vaccination program against HBV to handle the immunization coverage of HBV in the group. Results: 90 (90%) HCWs responded to the immunization program that 72 (72.0%) had anti-HBs titers in an equal range (>10 MIu/L), 18 (18%) were
