According to the national prevention program, passive-active immunoprophylaxis with hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and hepatitis B (HB) vaccine have been carried out for infants born to HB virus (HBV) carrier mothers positive for hepatitis Be (HBe) antigen since 1986 in Japan. Twenty-six thousand and ninety-nine infants born to the HBV carrier mothers received HBIG at birth and 24,065 0f the infants further received 3 doses of HB vaccine in all of Japan. From 1995, the program was expanded to include infants born to carrier mothers negative for HBe antigen. In the present article, vaccination practice for perinatal HBV infection was reviewed from the view point of child health. In addition, the vaccination practice in a clinic was surveyed.
