E-DRUG: Heptitis-B vaccines and their comparison

E-drug: Heptitis-B vaccines and their comparison
------------------------------------------------

Dear e-druggers,

Now-a-days, in Pakistan, the market is flooded with various types of
vaccines for prevention of Hepatitis-B infection. Each one seems to
claim better safety, efficacy and immunogenecity. In fact there is
quite a difference in prizes of the products produced by multinational
from UK and Korea.

It is very necessary to know how these vaccines differ in their efficacy
and cost-effectiveness. Can any of the e-druggers please help or guide
me how to go about it. This can have a long term implication as far as
national policy decision is concerned.

Waiting anxiously,

Prof. Dr. Inayat Thaver,
Public Health Scientist,
