dc.description.abstractThis study determined the proportion of hepatitis B vaccination completion among KIU-WC medical students. The study used a quantitative approach, collecting data through questionnaires and SPPS version 22. The majority of participants are aged 25-35 years, with 145 males and 79.3% in their 5th year medical school. The majority are Christians, with 81.1% being sponsored by parents or guardians. The rate of hepatitis B vaccination completion is 60.7%. Factors associated with hepatitis B completion include being Muslim, being privately sponsored, and being knowledgeable about post-exposure prophylaxis. Reasons for incomplete vaccination include vaccine cost (30.5%), absence of vaccinator (12.2%), and fake vaccines (9.8%). The high rate of faulting of Hepatitis B vaccination warrants redress to curb mortality due to chronic Hepatitis B. The study highlights the need for improved vaccination practices to reduce the global public health problem
