Anti-hepatitis B (HBs) antibody persistence and hepatitis B challenge were evaluated at 6 years of age following vaccination of fully liquid DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T or reconstituted DTaP-IPV-HB//PRP~T at 3, 5, 11-12 months of age. At 6 years, 53.8% and 73.5% had seroprotective anti-HBs antibodies (≥10 mIU/mL), increasing to 96.7% and 95.9% postchallenge, confirming a strong anamnestic response in primed vaccinees.
