摘要：

McMahon and colleagues' study in this issue reveals that serum levels of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen declined faster in persons who were immunized at 0.5 to 4 years of age. However, unless continued surveillance shows clinically significant rates of infection in adolescents or adults who were vaccinated as children, booster vaccinations will be wasteful.
