ABSTRACT
We conducted a questionnaire survey on voluntary inoculation of hepatitis B (HB) vaccine to children at 79 pediatric clinics. The voluntary vaccination rate was 65.2%, the desired vaccination target was "all infants" at 84.8% of clinics, the recommended method was "only when the patient wishes" at a rate of 80.0%, and "actively recommended" at 20.0%. If there was a request, 71.7% of clinics answered that they would like to recommend it in the future, and 38.9% said that it was difficult to recommend it because of the voluntary nature of vaccination. The requests were "expansion of the scope of regular vaccination" at 60.9% of clinics and "enlightenment activities and information provision" at 54.3%. Since it was suggested that voluntary vaccination is difficult to recommend, it is necessary to proactively provide information and public relations activities regarding its necessity to medical personnel and parents.
