Hello Everyone,

I am doing a study on the risk of Hep B transmission to  Health Care
workers and I am looking for some stats (or sites on the internet that
might have these stats) such as what percentage of Hep B transmissions
are occupationally acquired in the health care setting. (i.e., how many
Hep B cases got their disease as a direct result of activities they do
as a health care worker)? Thanks in advance.

Donna Alden
