In this case-control study, we investigated protection level to Hepatitis Binfection in children 6 months after completing chemotherapy.Methods: In this study 68 patients with cancer and 68 healthy donors were enrolled. Patients were 1.5 -12 years old with completedstandard chemotherapy at least for 6 months. All the patients and healthy donors were negative for HBsAg and HBeAg and hadreceived Hepatitis B vaccination. IgG antibody concentrations against Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) were determined in the patientsand healthy subjects serum by ELISA method. IgG antibody titer > 10 mIU/ml was considered as baseline protective titer forpreventing HBV infection.Results: Anti-HBs antibody titer in 19.12% of patients was less than 10 mIU/ml and 11.76% of the patients had borderlineantibody titer (10-20 mIU/ml). In healthy subjects 2.94% and 5.88% had antibody titer < 10 mIU/ml and 10-20 mIU/mlrespectively. According to statistical analysis frequency of non immune subjects in children with cancer was significantly higherthan those in healthy children (PV=0.024).Conclusion: Hepatitis B vaccination post-intensive chemotherapy in the children with cancer is strongly recommended.Keywords: Hepatitis B infection, vaccination, cancer, immunity.alishams@ssu.ac.irJ <strong>Vaccines</strong> Vaccin <strong>2013</strong>ISSN: 2157-7560, JVV an open access journal<strong>Vaccines</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>July 29-31, <strong>2013</strong>Volume 4 Issue 5Page 126

Mainly epidemiologic and anthropologic studieshave been carried out using the NDH (National Demographic and Health) database to explicate the probable factors responsiblefor these poor indicators of child health, particularly in the north eastern part of Nigeria. This research, using sociological toolsof investigation will attempt an interpretative, critical understanding of the socioeconomic status of women and immunizationstatus of under fives, with particular reference to poliomyelitis, in Kaduna state, north central Nigeria.The study was carried out in Sabongari Local Government Area of Kaduna state, north central Nigeria with an estimatedpopulation of 291,358 (NPC, 2008) among two hundred and seventy two women of childbearing age. Of these, one hundred andtwenty had children who had AFP (poliomyelitis) and one hundred and fifty two women who did not have children with AFP intheir households. The respondents were selected purposively using multi stage sampling procedure, by stratification.Key words: socio-economic status, immunization status, poliomyelitis, northern Nigeria.BiographyOladipo Aina has completed his M.Sc and M.Res at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and University of Aberdeen, Scotland and presently workingon his Ph.D at the University of Aberdeen Scotland. He is presently a Lecturer in the Department of Community Medicine, Ahmadu Bello UniversityZaria where he teaches medical students medical sociology, behavioral science and health education in addition to supervising fi nal year medicalstudents’ projects in Community Medicine . He has published about fi ve articles in local and international journals in addition to working as consultantto many local and international NGOs working in Nigeria in the area of public healthdip.yej2001@gmail.comJ <strong>Vaccines</strong> Vaccin <strong>2013</strong>ISSN: 2157-7560, JVV an open access journal<strong>Vaccines</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>July 29-31, <strong>2013</strong>Volume 4 Issue 5Page 127
