Abstract

The epidemiologic aspects of hepatitis B are analysed. The author proposes the vaccination of all children, risk groups and teenagers. Also the high incidence of Haemophilus influenzae infections in Portugal justifies the use of an anti-Hib vaccine administered to all children under 5 years, preferentially in the first year of life.
