INTRODUCTION Despite an effective vaccine, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to impose a large burden of disease globally. Until childhood immunisation achieves high adult population coverage, people who inject drugs (PWID), including prison inmates remain at risk.

This study sought to identify the incidence and predictors of HBV transmission and uptake of immunisation in PWID prisoners in Australia. MET
