Hepatitis B vaccination provides nearly 100% immunological protection in both adults and children. Pregnancy is not a contraindication for HBV immunisation, and there is no evidence that vaccination compromises fertility.

Routine prenatal HBV screening remains limited across most sub-Saharan African countries, narrowing the opportunity to intervene before delivery.
