ResumoJournal of the American Academy of Dermatologymatologist should carefully consider HBV immunization, which appears to be safe and effective without deleterious long-term side effects.Dermatologists and their assistants performing surgery associated with aerosol dispersion, such as dermabrasion, should be immunized if they are HBsAg-and antiHBs-negative.Meanwhile, molecular engineering, with the insertion of HBsAg genes into microorganisms, may result in an even safer and less expensive vaccine.*
