The aim of this survey was to evaluate HBV immunization in the population of the paramedical students based on the demographic characteristics in Iran.

Results and Conclusions: Anti-HBsAg titer in the studied population was estimated about 92.8±80.5 mIU. Anti-HBsAg titer response was significantly higher in females to males. A low proportion of vaccinated HCS had low titers antibody against HBV infection. Therefore, measuring anti-HBsAg titer may help to drop in HBV incidence in HCS. This reduction can be correlated with the effectiveness of national immunization program.
