Objective: To analyze the socio-demographic profile of reported hepatitis B and immunization against the disease.
Methods: Study Hepatitis B notification data in the surveillance of a Minas Gerais’ municipality, from 2007 to
2015, conducted at the Labor Education Program for Health descriptive and analytical statistics, with significance

to 87 years, average 35.8 (± 14.0) years. More frequently for men (52.3%) and with low education (64.8%). Most

suggests need for health education among the population, orienting the possibility of protection by immunization.... view less
