The risk of transmission of hepatitis B may be reduced by the implementation of certain measures proposed by the WHO. These include the vaccination of all infants within 24 hours of birth; vaccination of members of certain risk groups, including travelers to endemic areas and healthcare workers (if they have not been vaccinated yet); avoidance of sexual contact with a person who has acute or chronic hepatitis B; and avoiding sharing personal items such as razors or toothbrushes. The HBV vaccine is effective in<unk> g HBV infections when it is administered either before exposure or shortly after exposure.
