Brief summary

This is a randomized, controlled trial. The study will evaluate the immunogenicity, immune persistence, and safety of 20 µg and 60 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with three injections at months 0, 1, and 6 in methadone maintenance treatment patients.

Detailed description

Comparison of 2 vaccination strategy against Hepatitis B in patients with Methadone Maintenance Treatment Intervention: Arm 1 : 60 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with three injections at months 0, 1, and 6; Arm 2 : 20 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with three injections at months 0, 1, and 6.
