A. 20% to 50% B. 30% to 60% C. 50% to 80% D. increase awareness to > 90% E. Unsure

A. Much harder to contract through blood and bodily fluids B. More rare because it mainly affects certain ethnicities C. About the same virulence as HIV but not as infectious as HCV D. Many times more infectious than HIV E. Unsure

3. In the past 5 years, the incidence of new HBV infections in the U.S. has:

A. Remained steady due to increased public awareness campaigns B. Increased in adults in their 30s due in part to opioid addiction C. Increased in individuals older than age 65 because of lack of childhood vaccinations in this population D. Dropped dramatically due to increased vaccination efforts and public awareness E. Unsure

4. Which of the following groups are considered at risk for contracting an HBV infection?

A. Healthcare workers B. Persons living with HIV infection C. Unvaccinated persons traveling to HBV endemic areas D. All of the above E. Unsure

5. The currently available HBV vaccines consist of:

A. Recombinant vaccines containing aluminum adjuvants B. Recombinant vaccine with cytoside phosphoguanine adjuvant C. Plasma-derived live vaccines containing deactivated virus D. Both A and B above E. Unsure

6. Patient B has a sexual partner who he thinks may have chronic HBV. Upon testing, B has negative serology for HBsAg, total Anti-HBs, and unknown core antibody serology result. B does not know whether he was vaccinated as a child. Should he be vaccinated for HBV?

A. Yes, based on susceptibility due to sexual contact with potentially infected individual B. No; the negative serology suggests B has immunity or has been vaccinated in the past C. Maybe, pending the results of the core antibody finding (Total Anti-HBc) D. Maybe, but the sexual partner should first be tested E. Unsure

7. Which of the available HBV vaccines is indicated in both adults and children (birth to 19 years)?

A. Recombivax HB or Engerix-B B. Heplisav-B C. All available HBV vaccines D. None of the HBV vaccines E. Unsure

9. As of 2018, CDC Committee on Immunization Practices for HBV vaccination in persons age 18 and over recommend:

A. Heplisav-B, because it is a newer vaccine and has fewer impurities B. Heplisav-B, because the 2-dose administration schedule that can enhance adherence to the regimen C. Any of the 3 vaccines D. Trying Recombivax HB or Engerix-B first, unless the patient is opposed to a 3-vaccine course. E. Unsure

10. A patient in your pharmacy had a first injection of Recombivax-HB 1mL (10 mcg) 4 months ago, but did not follow up with the recommended second injection at 30 days. She wants to receive a second vaccination today. Her options are:

A. Start over from the beginning with any of the vaccines. B. Give the second dose, Recombivax only, and follow up with a third dose in 30 days. C. Give a dose of Heplisav-B 0.5 mL today and a second dose of Heplisav-B 0.5 mL in 4 weeks D. This patient likely has sufficient immunity from the first dose, so a second dose of vaccine will likely provide coverage. E. Unsure
