| dc.description.abstract | In rural Uganda where birth dose vaccination for hepatitis B is not routine, we implemented a pilot program for preventing mother-to-child transmission that effectively identified women with high-risk hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and started antiviral treatment during pregnancy. Further work is required to enhance antiviral adherence through delivery to ensure effective prevention of vertical HBV transmission. | en_US |
