dc.description.abstract	Abstract Hepatitis B is a global acute and chronic life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. During cadaveric dissection, clinical rotations, and autopsy posting, medical students get exposed to patients’ blood and body fluids, which increases the risk of hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis B can be prevented by vaccines that are safe, easily available, and effective, however many medical students are still unvaccinated. This results in the need for attention to prevent early exposure and provide vaccination at regular intervals during clinical training and professional practice.
