Its immunogenicity and safety using months vaccination schedule were proven. This prospective study is conducted to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of HG-II according to months schedule. Methods : 20 g of HG- II vaccine was given intramuscularly at 0, 1, and 2 months to 118 healthy adults seronegative for hepatitis B markers. Sera were assessed for anti- HBs by radioimmunoassay at 1 months and 7-10 months after completion of vaccination. Results : 113 of 118 (95.8%) completed vaccination schedules. The seroconversion rate at 1 month after completion of vaccination was 93.8% (106/ 113) and protective titers of anti- HBs developed in 82.3% (93/ 113). The geometric mean titer (GMT ) of anti- HBs was miu/ml in all seroconverted vaccinee. There was no incapacitating serious side effect associated with vaccinations. T he seropositive rate at 7-10 months after vaccination was 95.3% (81/85) with protective rate of 84.7% (72/ 85). The anti- HBs titers were decreased in 51.8% (44/85) of vaccinee. T he GMT was miu/ml. T he protective rate and GMT were 98.0%, miu/ml in the group with anti- HBs titer 50 miu/ml at 1 month after vaccination, and 64.71%, miu/ml in the group with anti- HBs < 50 miu/ ml. Conclusion : Green Cross HG- II vaccine is safe and effective in protecting hepatitis B at months vaccination schedule. However, the booster injection should be recommended for maintenance : : :. 90, ( ) ojlee@nongae.gsnu.ac.kr ()
