Practices to improve coverage of the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine
This scoping review summarizes and appraises the evidence from published and grey
literature on improving coverage of the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine. The review looks
at implementation evidence in relation to two main questions:
• What practices improve coverage of the hepatitis B birth dose?
• What are important facilitators and barriers to improving coverage of the birth
dose?
The purpose of the review is to contribute to an evidence base on which to develop
programmatic guidance for delivery of the birth dose, both in settings where this is
being introduced for the first time, and in those requiring strengthening of services for
birth dose vaccination.
