In the conditions of mass vaccination of hepatitis B, all over the world, including in Georgia, in the vaccinated population, the numberof those individuals who could not develop Anti-HBs are growing every day. According to the literature, the main reason for the ineffective vaccination of hepatitis B is considered to be an increase in the prevalence of express mutants among the hepatitisB virus population, which is of a similar intensity throughout the world. In parallel with a detailed analysis of literature sources, the scientific article for the first time studied the seroprevalence of Anti-HBs in the population of Georgian vaccinatedchildren.
