ABSTRACT
A pilot study was conducted to assess the clinical safety and immunogenicity of an indigenously developed recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Shanvac B) in 18 healthy adults. 20 microg of vaccine was administered at 0, 1 and 2 months. Protective anti HBs titres developed in 22%, 77% and 100% one month after 1st, 2nd and 3rd dose of vaccination, respectively. The geometric mean titre after the 3rd dose was 1015.29 mIu/ml. The vaccine was well tolerated with minor local and systemic side effects in 28% and 22%, respectively. The indigenously developed recombinant hepatitis B vaccine is safe, well tolerated and highly immunogenic.
